The challenge to British colonial rule in India in 1857 was on an unprecedented scale. Initially a mutiny by local troops, the conflict spread to involve local princes, rulers and land-owners. The fighting was widespread and involved horrific acts of brutality by both sides as well as great courage. This book places these events into their historical, political and economic contexts and the author's use of sources including personal accounts brings events of a century and a half ago vividly to life.

In the aftermath of Waterloo, over 6,000 British volunteers sailed across the Atlantic to aid Simon Bolivar in his liberation of Gran Columbia from her oppressors in Madrid. The expeditions were plagued with disaster from the start. One ship sank shortly after leaving Portsmouth with the loss of almost 200 lives and those who reached the New World faced disease, wild animals, mutiny and desertion. Conditions on the campaign were appalling, nevertheless, those who endured made key contributions to Bolivar’s success.
