About this product

Product Information

On a dark evening in November 1862, a cheap coffin is buried in eerie silence. There are no lamentations or panegyrics, for the British Commissioner in charge has insisted, 'No vesting will remain to distinguish where the last of the Great Mughals rests.' This Mughal is Bahadur Shah Zafar II, one of the most tolerant and likeable of his remarkable dynasty who found himself leader of a violent and doomed uprising. The Siege of Delhi was the Raj's Stalingrad, the end of both Mughal power and a remarkable culture.

  • You won't be able to put it down. Terrific! Much better than a Sky boxed set!

    Excellent and unbiassed view of the Mutiny in the Delhi area. Compelling, easily digested and yet comprehensive coverage of the conflict based on extensive research including hitherto unknown local contemporary primary sources. Highly enjoyable reading - I couldn't put it down. Characters and events are brought to life before your eyes - a truly gifted writer. Buy it.
