Awadh in Revolt, 1857-1858

The revolt of 1857 will never cease to arouse interest and debate. The book, now in paperback for the first time and with a new Introduction, remains one of the best studies of popular resistance and peasant rebellion. In his Introduction, which provides an update on the historiography of peasant revolt, the author charts some of these changes and their relevance to a deeper understanding of the uprising of 1857.
