Description
They Fight Like Devils: Stories From Lucknow During The Great Indian Mutiny, 1857-58
During the Great Indian Mutiny, British soldiers and civilians were vastly outnumbered and faced extermination in their most valued colonial possession. The outcome of the conflict hung in the balance as the British army launched a counteroffensive, with the fate of 3,000 British men, women, and children hanging precariously in the balance.
The siege of Lucknow was marked by fierce battles that raged for nine months, with British relief columns struggling to break through the city. The conflict was fought with brutal intensity, with both sides displaying feats of heroism and courage. This book explores the military course and human consequences of close-quarters combat, shedding light on a pivotal moment in Indian history.
