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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Folio Vault","offers":[{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":55216432546131,"sku":null,"price":7.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Good","offer_id":55421127000403,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1085\/2951\/6883\/files\/605.jpg?v=1792531618","url":"https:\/\/thefoliovault.com\/products\/the-siege-of-delhi-folio-society-605","provider":"Folio Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
