The siege lasted 147 days, marked by endurance, starvation and disease, before Townshend surrendered. | Braddon documents the political and strategic decisions behind the campaign and describes the conditions endured during the siege, including the desperate scarcity of food in its later stages. He also follows the consequences of the defeat: the survivors' forced march into captivity, the deaths among British and Indian troops, and the heavy casualties suffered by a relief force sent to assist Townshend's division.
