Description: The rich and exotic sub-continent of India -- the jewel in Britain's Imperial Crown -- fascinated Victorian England. A handful of the nineteenth century's greatest adventurers made their names and fortunes there, while many thousands at home avidly read the first-hand accounts reproduced in the pages of this book, describing the battles and grueling campaigns which secured Britain's busy but relatively short tenure of the continent.
