Title: Don't waste your time
Review: The book is a collection of haphazrd details none of them of any significance. The style of the narrative: to start with an everyday event and roll it into something significant, is borrowed, and used very poorly in every chapter. It appears that Mr. Hibbert read "official" english records and letters of the non-historic survivors and believed them to be the truth. There are no other facts or ancedotes except that of the English. English savagery is described as a matter of law and order and is lauded, natives are deemed barbaric, fiendish and ungrateful in their acts of savagery. There is no detail of the Mutineers other than that they mutinied under the influence of bhang (marijuana) and opium. It's unimaginable that Mr. Hibbert is considered a historian, who's only contribution is to be the first to use the word "badmash" on almost every page in an english book.I would have given this book a zero, but Amazon doens't allow that!
