The Sepoy Mutiny - Paperback

by V. a. Stuart (Author)

1857, India: The sepoys, native soldiers serving in the British Army, are massing in response to a prophecy predicting the end of the reign of the British East India Company. Alexander Sheridan--in command of a scratch cavalry force of civilian volunteers, unemployed officers, and loyal Indian soldiers--stands against atrocities on both sides of the conflict, judging all by their merit rather than by the color of their skin or the details of their religion.
