The Siege of Darabad - Paperback

by Haig Tahta (Author)

The Siege of Darabad is a work of fiction. Darabad, as described, does not exist, but many of the events portrayed happened in one form or another somewhere in British North India during that fateful year of 1857. Without pandering to sentimental nostalgia for the vanished glories or failures of the British Raj, Haig Tahta has written a masterful novel that gives recognition to the bravery and dedication of so many eager young men caught up in that tragic conflict. Exciting and heartfelt, The Siege of Darabad is a triumphant blend of well researched history and thumping good adventure - another compelling novel from the author of The Constantinople Trilogy.
