Description
Two wars-the 1857 Revolt in India and the American Civil War-seemingly fought for very different reasons, occurred at opposite ends of the globe in the middle of the nineteenth century. But they were both fought in a world still dominated by Great Britain and the battle cry in both conflicts was freedom. Rajmohan Gandhi brings the drama of both wars to one stage in A Tale of Two Revolts. He deftly reconstructs events from the point of view of William Howard Russell-an Irishman who was also perhaps the world’s first war correspondent-and uncovers significant connections between the histories of the United States, Britain and India. The result is a tale of two revolts, three countries and one century. Into this fascinating story Rajmohan Gandhi weaves the choices of five extraordinary inhabitants of India-Sayyid Ahmed Khan, Ishwarchandra Vidyasagar, Jotiba Phule, Allan Octavian Hume and Bankimchandra Chatterjee-and of three towering figures of world history-Karl Marx, Leo Tolstoy and Abraham Lincoln-to show the continuities between the nineteenth century and the world we live in today. Scholarly, insightful and gripping, A Tale of Two Revolts raises new questions about these wars that changed the world.
