Book Description
Volume IV of VI Best edition of the standard work (with analytical index in Vol. VI) Contemporary review from the Athenaeum: "It only be remarked that Colonel Malleson wields his pen with so much skill that while giving a realistic account of all important operations, passing over no really noteworthy act of talent or heroism, and acutely criticising everything which demands criticism, he abstains from overlaying his narrative with details which would have increased the bulk of his book beyond all reason. Another characteristic of Colonel Malleson is that he never hesitates to condemn conduct of which he disapproves or to draw attention to errors which he conceives were committed, whatever the rank or position of those who are the objects of his criticism. The result is that many of the actors in the drama will find their laurels somewhat injured, while others, who from official prejudice have not yet received full credit for their exploits, obtain from the author due praise for their services. The rewards given for the Mutiny were liberal, but it is distressing to find that some of them were undeserved, while on the other hand, many able and gallant men have received no recognition at all ... There are many highly-placed officials whose fame is sadly tarnished by the frank, truthful criticisms of the fearless, uncompromising author of the book before us."

Book Description
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.

Book Description
Excerpt from Kaye's and Malleson's History of the Indian Mutiny of 1857-8, Vol. 4 of 6 The present volume narrates the story of the storming of Dehli, the subsequent clearing of the country in the vicinity of that city, and the march to Agra and Kanhpur. It proceeds then to deal with Sir Colin Campbell's journey from Calcutta to Kanhpur; his relief of the garrison of Lakhnao; and his safe escort of the women and children of that garrison to Kanhpur. It devotes then a chapter to the attack of the Gwaliar contingent on that central point, and to Windham's consequent action; another, to Colin Campbell's reply to their daring aggression. Narrating, then, the movements of the several columns of Walpole and Seaton, and of the main body under Sir Colin, in the North-West; the action of the NipKanhpurl troops under Jang Bahadur; and of the columns under Rowcroft and Franks in the Azamgarh district and in eastern Oudh; it proceeds to describe the four months' defence of the Alambagh by the illustrious Outram;then, the last movements which preceded Sir Colin's attack on Lakhnao; then, the storming of that city. From this point the narrative returns to the Bengal Presidency proper, and describes the outbreaks in eastern Bengal, in eastern Bihar, in Chutia Nagpur, and their repression; deals then with the difficulties caused mainly by the suicidal action of the Government in western Bihar; gives in full detail the splendid action of Lord Mark Kerr the relief of Azamgarh, one of the two instances on record in which a surprised army defeated the surprisers; proceeds then to the campaign of Lugard, Douglas, and their lieutenants, against Kunwar Singh and his brother Amar Singh, in western Bihar; describes the gallantry of Middleton, and the fertility of resource of, and striking success achieved by, Sir Henry Havelock.
