The Siege of Darabad

The Siege of Darabad is a work of fiction. Darabad, as described, does not exist, but many of the eventsportrayed happened in one form or another somewherein British North India during that fateful year of 1857.Without pandering to sentimental nostalgia for thevanished glories or failures of the British Raj, Haig Tahtahas written a masterful novel that gives recognition tothe bravery and dedication of so many eager young mencaught up in that tragic conflict. Exciting and heartfelt, The Siege of Darabad is a triumphant blend of wellresearched history and thumping good adventure- another compelling novel from the author of TheConstantinople Trilogy.
