By William Dalrymple. Yet after two years of occupation, the country exploded into violent rebellion, forcing the British army into humiliating retreat. Enchantingly written. . In Dalrymple's usual happy style of historical narrative, applied to a fascinating, neat and highly suggestive series of events, this long and involved book will be a great success, and bring the famous story to a large new audience -- Philip Hensher Spectator .
