Children of the Raj

by Vyvyen Brendon

This volume reveals the shocking history of what the British in India did with their children. Brendon's book runs from the 18th century, through the Afghan wars, the Indian mutiny and the more settled era of the Queen Empress, and culminates in the conflict leading to Britain's hurried exit in 1947.
