The Siege of Delhi

by Amarpal Singh

One of the most decisive conflicts of the Indian Rebellion is explored in fascinating detail. With more than 6,000 people killed on the opposing sides of Mughal Empire and British Empire/east India Company, this was a deadly siege with long-term effects. The chapters take us step-by-step through the run up to the siege, its forewarnings, the mutiny itself and the fall of Delhi. The detailed maps and chronology are a big help in understanding the scale and effect of the siege.
