About This Book

A chronological narrative of a large-scale military uprising in India and the campaigns that suppressed it, recounting early insubordination, mutiny, sieges, massacres, desperate evacuations, and eventual restoration of order. The account surveys operations across multiple regions, contrasts the varying loyalties of different social, caste, and military groups, and highlights logistical, political, and administrative difficulties faced by authorities and troops. It describes relief efforts, tribunals and debates over punishment and army reorganization, and closes with concise notices of contemporaneous expeditions to Persia, China, and Japan and the transfer of civil governance.
