Note by Edward Thompson on mutiny literature. These contemporary eyewitness accounts of the uprising of 1857 in India by the Europeans, tell us the stories about how and why some of the Indian kings, noblemen and soldiers sacrificed their lives and reputation to project their European masters, their wives and children. These narratives also describe the ground realities of the war crimes committed by both the rulers and the ruled during the so called mutiny of the Bengal Army. The book is profoundly useful for all those general readers and specialists who want to understand and examine this crucial and controversial landmark in the struggle for Indias freedom. This study will also help the scholars to understand the more serious universal problems of colonialism and cultural crisis all over the world. Seller Inventory # 81305
