A gripping account of the 1857 Indian Mutiny and the pivotal Siege of Delhi.

In 1857, simmering tensions exploded at Meerut, igniting the most serious threat to British rule in India. Sepoys, refusing new cartridges, marched on Delhi, resurrected the Mughal empire, and declared Bahadur Shah Zafar emperor. The British response was critical: recapture Delhi or lose India.

Amarpal Singh masterfully narrates the intense three-month siege, detailing the military strategies, key figures, and the brutal realities faced by both sides. Discover the political intrigue and cultural clashes that fueled the conflict, and understand why this close-run affair changed the course of Anglo-Indian history. Perfect for readers of military history and those fascinated by the British Empire.
