Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores a gripping chapter in British colonial history. It shines a light on the defense of Arrah, a battle against substantial odds during the Indian Mutiny when, in 1857, the British Empire faced a widespread rebellion. The narrative revolves around eight heroic Englishmen, who were outnumbered by over 2,000 hostile native insurgents led by Koer Singh and backed by vast numbers of rebels. Lack of imagination and foresight exacerbated the British position, and their sheer audacity in holding the fort at Arrah against the odds is at the core of the book. The author's exploration of the events leading up to and during the siege reveals the potent impact of unchecked prejudice and the absence of empathy which preceded the bitter racial conflict. This book provides a deeper understanding of the complexities of British Imperial history and the far-reaching consequences of fear and ignorance.
