Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

For an unvarnished insight into the Victorian soldier's experience of the Indian Mutiny, this is an essential account. Written amid widespread horror and a profound sense of betrayal, its uncompromising views on the punishment of mutineers reflect the attitudes of the time. The unit served from the outbreak of the Mutiny until spring 1858, fighting with exceptional bravery under Havelock, Hope-Grant and others. Raw, forthright and deeply revealing, this is military history at its most immediate, capturing the experiences and emotions of British volunteers and their Indian allies as they fought to restore a shattered order.
