About The Book

The Siege of Delhi and Its Recapture by Captain G.F. Atkinson offers a unique perspective on one of the most significant events in Indian history—the 1857 revolt. Drawing from the National Archives of India's library collection, this reprint focuses not on the process of the siege, but on the progress leading up to the British army’s eventual victory.

In this meticulously crafted work, Atkinson highlights the principal events of the 1857 rebellion, using them as key markers that ultimately point toward the British success. The narrative captures the strategic moves, military preparations, and key moments that led to the recapture of Delhi, providing readers with an understanding of the British viewpoint during the tumultuous times.

A valuable addition to the history of the 1857 revolt, this book sheds light on the British military’s experience, serving as an important reference for historians and readers interested in the colonial era and the events that shaped India’s struggle for independence.
