The Collected Works of Edward Bellamy

This book is the biography of Brigadier General John Nicholson, the famed Anglo-Irish officer in the British Army who rose to prominence on account of his military exploits for the Empire in British India. Nicholson's most defining moment in his career was his crucial role in suppressing the Indian Rebellion of 1857, a conflict in which he died. The book traces his life as a soldier beginning with his short stint in Afghanistan, where he took part in the First Anglo-Afghan War, prior to moving to India.
