About The Book: The Mutiny of the Bengal Army by Sir Charles Napier offers a British perspective on the Indian Mutiny of 1857, focusing on the Bengal Army's role. Napier examines the causes of the rebellion, including cultural tensions, British military reforms, and the controversy over the greased cartridges. He justifies British actions and emphasizes military strategy, detailing the challenges faced in suppressing the uprising. While the book provides insight into British colonial attitudes, it downplays Indian grievances, offering a one-sided view of the events and the complexities of colonial rule.
