Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a captivating and insightful look into the tumultuous events surrounding the British East India Company in the mid-19th century, particularly the authorââ â¢s own experiences as Commander-in-Chief of the Indian Army. It offers a firsthand account of the simmering tensions within the Company's ranks, culminating in the mutiny of several Sepoy regiments. The author details the complex dynamics of power struggles, political machinations, and the dangers of cultural misunderstanding that shaped this pivotal period. The book delves into the root causes of the mutiny, exploring the intricate issues of pay discrepancies, caste prejudices, and the impact of British administrative policies on native populations.
