Today I finished reading "Dust and Steel" by Patrick Mercer.  It is an invigorating read that takes one to the Indian Mutiny of 1857 - 1859.  The reader is gripped by the hero's dilemmas as he goes from battle to battle during the Indian Mutiny.  You get a sense of what the battles were like for the soldiers of the time.

It is an excellent sequel to Mercer's "To Do and Die".

  1. Hmm but does it give the reader information on what it's like to be Indian during that time?

  2. Not really. It is written from the point of view of the British soldiers.
