hardcover. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Mann, Julian (illustrator). In September 1857, Arthur Lang, an inexperienced young Engineer officer, was given what turned out to be a key role at the turning point of the Indian Mutiny. He had to decide whether the breaches at the Kashmere bastion were wide enough to allow for the attack, and then had to lead the assault himself. To those who saw him then, "fighting like a paladin", through the recapture of Delhi, and later through the relief and final recapture of Lucknow, Lang seemed to bear a charmed life. He was the only Engineer officer to fight in all those major battles, and was three times recommended for the VC. As variously protegee, colleague and close friend, he fought alongside Campbell, Napier and Roberts - all of whom ended their careers as Commanders in Chief. The beau ideal of a fighting soldier, Lang seemed equally assured of fame and military fortune, but he received neither. At his own insistence he went back to building roads. He was awarded no VC, never published his own story. He only left behind him a reputation for kindness and contentment, and a journal of his life. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
