It was also perhaps the inevitable clash of British 'civilization' with Indian customs, traditions, and religion. This conflict definitely shocked the British, and it was a pivotal event in British imperial and military, as well as Indian, history. The Indian Mutiny broke out on 10 May 1857, and it did not officially end until 8 July 1859. The Mutiny itself can be divided into a number of campaigns. The first campaign consisted of the siege and capture of Delhi (June-September 1857). The second was the campaign in Oudh, including the defense of the Lucknow Residency (July-November 1857); the September and November 1857 reliefs of Lucknow; the defense (June 1857) and the three battles of Cawnpore (July, November, and December 1857); the final capture of Lucknow in March 1858; and the pacification of Oudh and Rohilkand (Apri-June 1858). Operations in Central India were conducted in two phases, from June-November 1857 and January-June 1858. The Battle of Gwalior, 19 June 1858, was the last major engagement of the Indian Mutiny. Final mopping up operations took place from July 1858 until May 1859. Indian Mutiny, 1857-1859: A Selected Bibliography is a comprehensive and authoritative research guide and bibliographic platform that identifies and frequently annotates thousands of contemporary, current, and hard-to-find English- and foreign-language books, journal articles, government documents, academic studies, and unpublished personal papers and diaries on all aspects of the Indian Mutiny. Arranged chronologically and topically, chapters cover general Indian history, British imperialism, the East India Company, and its army; the causes of the Indian Mutiny and key Indian leaders (Nana Sahib, Rani of Jhansi, Tantia Topi, and others); and military operations and activities of the Mutiny, with individual chapters focusing on Delhi, Cawnpore, and Lucknow. Other chapters are devoted to participating unit and regimental histories; the aftermath of the Indian Mutiny; London Gazette Despatches; and various supporting services of the British and Indian Armies and related subjects, including intelligence operations and engineer and medical support, the press, religion, literature, gender studies, awards, and monuments and memorials. Further chapters include autobiographies, biographies, journals, and letters of leading military commanders (Campbell, Havelock, Outram, Rose, and Napier) and other Mutiny participants and observers. Document repositories and military archives around the world have been scoured to identify and list hundreds of unpublished participant letters, diaries, and manuscripts; official government documents; and published soldiers' letters. Of significance, this bibliography also enumerates hundreds of book chapters, journal articles, and conference papers originating in India in commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the Indian Mutiny in 2007 and providing an Indian perspective on events. The definitive and unique Indian Mutiny, 1857-1859: A Selected Bibliography is an indispensable reference and veritable treasure trove for researching the causes, operations, leadership, and results of the Indian Mutiny, a watershed event that shook the British Empire to its very foundations in the 1850s and paved the way for Indian independence a century later.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49739632673041,"sku":"NGR9781910777213","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1910777218.jpg?v=1751630102"},{"product_id":"operation-joint-endeavor-book-harold-e-raugh-jr-9781494407537","title":"Operation JOINT ENDEAVOR","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51030367830289,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51030370156817,"sku":"NIN9781494407537","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1494407531.jpg?v=1750891976"},{"product_id":"presidio-of-monterey-book-harold-e-raugh-jr-9781531615031","title":"Presidio of Monterey","description":"The Presidio of Monterey is best known as the home of the post-World War II Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center, the Department of Defense's acknowledged leader in foreign language training. It has, however, a much longer and rich history. After the United States seized Monterey in 1846, the U.S. Army began constructing Fort Mervine, which served a number of purposes until it was abandoned in 1866. In 1902-1903, a modern cantonment was built in the area. In 1904, the new post was officially renamed the Presidio of Monterey after a nearby Spanish fort established in 1770 that had fallen into disuse. Throughout the first half of the 20th century, the post was home to infantry and cavalry regiments, as well as an inductee reception center. The Military Intelligence Service Language School was moved to the Presidio of Monterey in 1946 and renamed the Army Language School in 1947; this evolved into the present-day Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51034416021777,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51034418741521,"sku":"NIN9781531615031","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52589053772049,"sku":"NLS9781531615031","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1531615031.jpg?v=1750861895"},{"product_id":"fort-ord-book-harold-e-raugh-jr-9781531615024","title":"Fort Ord","description":"From its establishment during World War I to its closure at the end of the Cold War, the Army installation best known as Fort Ord made a significant contribution to our national defense. Founded as a training area for Presidio of Monterey troops in 1917, Fort Ord covered more than 28,000 acres near the city of Monterey in its heyday. The local topography made it ideal as an infantry training center, and this was its primary mission throughout much of the 20th century. Most recently, Fort Ord was home to the 7th Infantry Division (Light), which was inactivated in 1993. In September 1994, Fort Ord closed its gates and became a part of military history.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51034514293009,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51034517405969,"sku":"NIN9781531615024","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52584402649361,"sku":"NLS9781531615024","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1531615023.jpg?v=1751055190"},{"product_id":"british-army-1815-1914-book-harold-e-raugh-jr-9781138620841","title":"The British Army 1815-1914","description":"This collection of essays examines the evolution of the British Army during the century-long Pax Britannica, from the time Wellington considered its soldiers 'the scum of the earth' to the height of the imperial epoch, when they were highly-respected 'soldiers of the Queen'.

Meticulously researched and compellingly written, these fourteen enthralling essays highlight little-known battles and campaigns; battlefield bravery; deception operations; the evolution of weaponry, tactics, and leadership; and the indispensable and frequently-neglected human dimension of soldiering.The incredible stories of miraculous escapes from besieged Delhi during the Indian Mutiny are detailed using first-hand accounts, and the varying perceptions of battles by participants of different ranks, are examined. Ingenuous examples of the intentional use of war correspondents, and the planting of false documents as a means of deception to mislead and convey \"misinformation\" to adversaries, are dissected and evaluated.Frequently overlooked military operations, such as the 1875-1876 Perak War and the 1898 Fashoda Expedition are chronicled in rich detail. The tactical employment of artillery at the 1898 Battle of Omdurman in the Sudan, and the decisive role of advanced weaponry, dispersed tactics, and rifle marksmanship at Elandslaagte in 1899 during the South African War, are insightfully assessed. Case studies also showcase innovative training, detailed planning, and dynamic leadership from both world wars.The riveting \u003ci\u003eCrucible of Combat\u003c\/i\u003e is an exceptionally outstanding and highly recommended book that makes a major contribution to British military history. It belongs on the bookshelf of every British military historian.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51880399208721,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51880399569169,"sku":"NGR9781804518120","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781804518120.jpg?v=1772707606"},{"product_id":"wavell-in-the-middle-east-1939-1941-book-harold-e-raugh-jr-9780806143057","title":"Wavell in the Middle East, 1939-1941","description":"This masterly study of generalship covers two years of intense operational activity during which Field Marshal Wavell, as Commander-in-Chief, Middle East, was at one point conducting no fewer than five campaigns simultaneously. Two of those campaigns will stand in history as truly great victories, and one - the campaign in Greece in 1941 - as a source of endless controversy.  Harold E. Raugh, Jr., has drawn upon previously unavailable official documents and interviewed or corresponded with a wide range of soldiers who served under Wavell. Raugh shows how Wavell's early experience as a soldier and budding commander were reflected in his later decision making and shrewd military vision.  Although Wavell's charismatic personality endeared him to all who served under him and earned him the profound respect of his fellows, and even of the enemy, his natural taciturnity brought him into conflict with his political masters. In spite of his enormous military achievements at one of the most critical periods in his country's history, Wavell has been undeservedly relegated to obscurity - a historical oversight that Raugh corrects with this richly detailed book.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52330590306577,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52330590437649,"sku":"NIN9780806143057","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780806143057.jpg?v=1767354905"},{"product_id":"british-military-operations-in-egypt-and-the-sudan-book-harold-e-raugh-jr-9780810859548","title":"British Military Operations in Egypt and the Sudan","description":"The British Army's campaigns in Egypt and the Sudan from 1882 to 1899 were among the most dramatic and hard-fought in British military history. In 1882, the British sent an expeditionary force to Egypt to quell the Arabic Revolt and secure British control of the Suez Canal, its lifeline to India. The enigmatic British Major General Charles G. Gordon was sent to the Sudan in 1884 to study the possibility of evacuating Egyptian garrisons threatened by Muslim fanatics, the dervishes, in the Sudan. While the dervishes defeated the British forces on a number of occasions, the British eventually learned to combat the insurrection and ultimately, largely through superior technology and firepower, vanquished the insurgents in 1898.  British Operations in Egypt and the Sudan: A Selected Bibliography enumerates and generally describes and annotates hundreds of contemporary, current, and hard-to-find books, journal articles, government documents, and personal papers on all aspects of British military operations in Egypt and the Sudan from 1882 to 1899. Arranged chronologically and topically, chapters cover the various campaigns, focusing on specific battles, leading military personalities, and the contributions of imperial nations as well as supporting services of the British Army.
