The Great Uprising in India, 1857-58: Untold Stories, Indian and British

by Rosie Llewellyn-Jones

Book Overview

The events of 1857-58 in India are seen here through a series of untold stories - and thereby from a series of different perspectives - which show that they were much more complex than suggested by the label "Indian Mutiny", applied by British writers, who saw the events as a colonial rebellion, or by the label "The First War of Independence", which is used by most Indian writers on the subject.
