Sommario/riassunto |
|
Illustrated with over one hundred maps, photos and portraits, of the battles, individuals and places involved in the Indian Mutiny. Maria Vincent Germon, wife of an officer of the 13th Bengal Native Infantry, survived the siege of Lucknow where 3000 people in the Residency held out against a force of 20,000 Indian soldiers and irregulars in 1857. Mrs. Germon makes the reader live alongside her through the siege and the dirt, overcrowding, boils, lice and death of friends. |
