[Illustrated with over one hundred maps, photos and portraits, of the battles, individuals and places involved in the Indian Mutiny] The Indian Mutiny, or Sepoy Revolt, flared up in many areas around the British controlled Raj in 1857. Government offices were sacked and many Europeans were put to the sword, the reasons for this sudden explosion of violence were many; religious affronts, British high-handedness and to some freedom from Imperialism. Delhi fell quickly to the rebels overcoming the small garrison and occupying the huge arsenal. As the former capital of the Mughal Empire Delhi was a beacon for those who sought to reinstate native control, many rebellious sepoys flocked to the city and the importance of Delhi as a symbol of the revolt gathered momentum by the day. The British forces, having recovered from the shock, understood the importance of Delhi as a focal point of resistance and dispatched a large force to retake the city, trusting in discipline and organised fighting power of the troops. The Siege of Delhi was pivotal to the entire Indian Mutiny and both sides were very aware of this, the fighting was among the bloodiest of the entire struggle. This account by an anonymous serving officer is a fabulously detailed account of the siege, full of the ebb and flow of the fortunes of the British besiegers as they sought to crush the rebellion.

WINNER OF THE DUFF COOPER MEMORIAL PRIZE | LONGLISTED FOR THE SAMUEL JOHNSON PRIZE 'Indispensable reading on both India and the Empire' Daily Telegraph 'Brims with life, colour and complexity . . . outstanding' Evening Standard 'A compulsively readable masterpiece' Brian Urquhart, The New York Review of Books A stunning and bloody history of nineteenth-century India and the reign of the Last Mughal. In May 1857 India's flourishing capital became the centre of the bloodiest rebellion the British Empire had ever faced. Once a city of cultural brilliance and learning, Delhi was reduced to a battered, empty ruin, and its ruler – Bahadur Shah Zafar II, the last of the Great Mughals – was thrown into exile. The Siege of Delhi was the Raj's Stalingrad: a fight to the death between two powers, neither of whom could retreat. The Last Mughal tells the story of the doomed Mughal capital, its tragic destruction, and the individuals caught up in one of the most terrible upheavals in history, as an army mutiny was transformed into the largest anti-colonial uprising to take place anywhere in the world in the entire course of the nineteenth century.
