SOLD The Great Indian Mutiny


 

SOLD

My direct ancestor, Mirza Ghalib, was the poet laureate of the last Mughal Emperor who led (or was forced to lead) the great mutiny from his depleted palace in Delhi in 1857.

This book is the US edition of the English original which was entitled The Sound Of Fury - An Account Of The Indian Mutiny (1963). It provides a day-by-day chronological account of the Mutiny which is seen by many as the beginning of the independence movement of India.. Both sides ended up with plenty of blood on their hands.

This is a very rare edition of the book. An antique in excellent condition apart from the previous owner's surname written on the inside cover. 

$25 including postage anywhere in Australia.

HB. 384pp.
