Indian Rebellion, 18571859

"Frey's concise and readable history of the Indian Rebellion is an excellent introduction to one of the most important wars of the nineteenth century. The rebellion lasted more than a year and pitted broad sections of north Indian society against the British East India Company. British victory consolidated colonial rule that would only be dislodged by twentieth-century nationalist movements. Frey provides a crystal-clear account of the causes, principal events, and consequences of the rebellion. Equally importantly, he deftly discusses why the rebellion remains controversial. Well-chosen documents add texture to the analysis. This is the best short history of the rebellion in print."
—Ian Barrow, Middlebury College

Rebeliunea a durat mai mult de un an si a pus in picioare sectiuni largi ale societatii din nordul Indiei cu Compania britanica a Indiilor de Est.
