A Tale of Two Revolts: India's Mutiny and The American Civil War
Autor Rajmohan Gandhien Limba Engleză Hardback – 25 iul 2011
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
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.
