A Critical Narrative

Head & tail of spine worn and restored in channel; all 4 corners slightly worn, – now restored. A library copy, Germiston, S A, some light and mainly marginal spotting to text. Titles on front and spine in gilt; coloured folding map on japon as frontispiece and 6 large folding maps, 1 map completely detached, and plans, a number coloured, on japon at end. Original red cloth. This history of the Mutiny re-examines its origins, development and eventual suppression. The author’s conclusions are based on his personal experiences. Published in the same year as the first edition. This edition contains an important author’s Preface in which he responds to comment on the original. Topics covered include the policy of Lord Dalhousie, the degree of indigenous disaffection, and the eternally controversial matter of the greased cartridges. Very Scarce.
