Even though much literature on Bahadur Shah Zafar and the 1857 revolt exists, Mahdi Husains book continues to be of considerable revelance to the historians of Modern India. It is rich in details, and offers a dispassionate interpretation of the 1857 revolt. The book brings alive to the present day reader the trauma of living in 1857, a truama that people like syed Ahmed Khan and the poet Mirza Ghalib experienced.
