This book was released on 2002-08-01 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an account of the operations of the British Forces under Major-General Sir Hugh Rose, from the suppression of the mutiny in Arungabad, some 180 miles east of Bombay to the capture of Gwalior from the rebels and the reinstatement of the Maharajah. The author was Medical Officer to the Corps of Madras Sappers and Miners, and when his story begins, on 31st May 1857, he has just arrived in Bombay with B Company from operations in Persia with orders to return to its own Presidency. But the Indian Mutiny had broken out that month, the move was cancelled and the company seconded to the Bombay Army (the Mutiny was largely confined to the Bengal Army and had little impact on the troops of the Bombay and Madras Presidencies who for the most part remained loyal). The company joined the force which had just recaptured Arungabad from the mutineers and the first thing Lowe witnessed was the execution of mutineers, one of them blown from from a gun. After two had been shot - The third was then tied to the muzzle of the gun blindfolded. Fire! and in an instant he was blown to atoms. His head flew up into the air some thirty or forty feet - an arm yonder, another yonder, while the gory, reeking trunk fell in a heap beneath the gun. From such an unpleasant start we follow Sir Hugh Rose s campaign through Central India and his battles to its conclusion in June 1858 - summary executions following successful encounters with the mutineers. In one case 76 of them were lined up, blindfolded and shot from a range of six feet, in another 149 were dispatched in one long line. The Indian Mutiny was characterized by the savagery displayed on both sides.

Book excerpt: An outstanding account of the campaign for the fall of Lucknow This curiously titled book-for it still bears its original appellation-suggests a light hearted view of the experience of warfare. In fact, nothing could be further from the truth. Leonaur constantly seeks to publish unusual and interesting books of military history, but this book is remarkable on several counts. Firstly, it is a fine account of the final stages of the Indian Mutiny told from the perspective of a young British officer who was actively engaged on the campaign and a participant in many engagements. It has not been available for many years and its republication now is made all the more fitting in this, the 150th anniversary year of the Indian Mutiny itself. It is much more. In researching the Leonaur commemorative book Mutiny: 1857, Up Among the Pandies came to the notice of Leonaur's editors. It revealed itself to be a remarkable work of authorship irrespective of its subject matter. Majendie brings to his writing a fabulous talent for close observation of the detail of events, conversations and the sights he was witnessing that puts this book belongs in a class above the usual military memoir. It is an account of warfare and the experience of war that misses nothing. The reader will see the avenging British Army on campaign, the dust in the morning light and the sweat of exertion running down the faces of its men. The voice of the common soldier is reported without editing for Victorian niceties and combat is described in savage and realistic clarity-including the frequent perfunctory executions in all their ghastly variety. This is a vital book of war as fought by the British Army of the mid-nineteenth century, but in truth it is also an essential book of war that will enthral military historians and general readers alike.

Download or read book The Skull of Alum Bheg written by Kim Wagner and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-03-01 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1963, a human skull was discovered in a pub in Kent in south-east England. A brief handwritten note stuck inside the cavity revealed it to be that of Alum Bheg, an Indian soldier in British service who was executed during the aftermath of the 1857 Uprising, or The Indian Mutiny as historians of an earlier era described it. Alum Bheg was blown from a cannon for having allegedly murdered British civilians, and his head was brought back as a grisly war-trophy by an Irish officer present at his execution. The skull is a troublesome relic of both anti- colonial violence and the brutality and spectacle of British retribution. Kim Wagner presents an intimate and vivid account of life and death in British India in the throes of the largest rebellion of the nineteenth century. Fugitive rebels spent months, even years, hiding in the vastness of the Himalayas before they were eventually hunted down and punished by a vengeful colonial state. Examining the colonial practice of collecting and exhibiting human remains, this book offers a critical assessment of British imperialism that speaks to contemporary debates about the legacies of Empire and the myth of the 'Mutiny'.

This book was released on 2005-01-13 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gautam Chakravarty explores representations of the event which has become known in the British imagination as the 'Indian Mutiny' of 1857 in British popular fiction and historiography. Drawing on a wide range of primary sources including diaries, autobiographies and state papers, Chakravarty shows how narratives of the rebellion were inflected by the concerns of colonial policy and by the demands of imperial self-image. He goes on to discuss the wider context of British involvement in India from 1765 to the 1940s, and engages with constitutional debates, administrative measures, and the early nineteenth-century Anglo-Indian novel. Chakravarty approaches the mutiny from the perspectives of postcolonial theory as well as from historical and literary perspectives to show the extent to which the insurrection took hold of the popular imagination in both Britain and India. The book has a broad interdisciplinary appeal and will be of interest to scholars of English literature, British imperial history, modern Indian history and cultural studies.

Download or read book The Indian Mutiny 1857–58 written by Gregory Fremont-Barnes and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2014-06-06 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the mid-19th century India was the focus of Britain's international prestige and commercial power - the most important colony in an empire which extended to every continent on the globe and protected by the seemingly dependable native armies of the East India Company. When, however, in 1857 discontent exploded into open rebellion, Britain was obliged to field its largest army in forty years to defend its 'jewel in the crown'. This book, drawing on the latest sources as well as numerous first-hand accounts, explains why the sepoy armies rose up against the world's leading imperial power, details the major phases of the fighting, including the massacres at Cawnpore and the epic sieges of Delhi and Lucknow, and examines many other aspects of this compelling, at times horrifying, subject.
