Fiction, The Afghan Knife trilogy

Author: Robert Armitage Sterndale




The Afghan Knife is an epic-length three-volume tour de force, a fascinating novel of romance, war, and the clash of cultures, which paints for the reader the differing viewpoints and motivations of the various residents of 19th-century British Colonial India during the Indian Rebellion of 1857, written with personal knowledge and experience of the situation by a man who participated in the warfare as an employee of the East India Company and volunteer officer during the rebellion.

Historical fiction at its best.
