About the author

W. S. R. (William Stephen Raikes) Hodson

1821–1858

An East India Company officer remembered for his daring cavalry exploits during the Indian Rebellion of 1857, he remains a vivid and controversial figure of the British Raj. His letters and journals offer a close-up view of war, ambition, and empire in mid-19th-century India.
