About the book

The Siege of Delhi recounts one of the decisive episodes of the Indian Rebellion of 1857. After rebel forces seized Delhi and declared the ageing Mughal emperor Bahadur Shah II their symbolic leader, British and allied troops gathered outside the city and began a prolonged siege. The account describes the difficult military conditions, fierce fighting and eventual assault that led to the British recapture of Delhi. It provides a dramatic perspective on a conflict that fundamentally changed British rule in India and had lasting consequences for both Britain and the Indian subcontinent.
