Complete Title: Lives of Indian Officers Volume 3 Vols. About the Book- About The Book: In this book, the author exlained the lives of Indian Officers during the British era. The book delves into significant wars spanning three transformative quarters of a century, shedding light on the brilliance of military and political minds within the'Services. Notable conflicts encompass Tippoo's, Mahrattah, Afghan, Punjab wars, and the Sepoy uprising. However, it prioritizes biography over historical context, deriving History from exceptional lives. While it doesn't aim to be a comprehensive History of India, it presents an engaging narrative of the remarkable Indian Services - the East India Company's Military and Civil Services, now defunct. The aim is to honor unparalleled public servants, showcasing their excellence. The author aims to highlight virtues despite imperfections, portraying ordinary individuals from Britain's middle class embarking on transformative journeys to the East, forging their destinies amid the abolished Patronage-system. The book aims to inspire the younger generation in England, illustrating self-driven accomplishments in India.It addresses contemporary hurdles like aversion to Indian service, seeking to kindle motivation through historical heroism. The'nepotism of the East India Company,' fostering enthusiasm and tradition, is esteemed, as colonial servants embraced India as their home and roles as lifelong vocations, crucial to their achievements. The author's ultimate objective is to ignite modern enthusiasm by channeling the lofty aspirations of historical heroes. His works include "History of the Sepoy War in India, " revised into Kaye and Malleson's History of the Indian Mutiny. An Eton and Addiscombe alumnus.
Kaye edited Bengal Hurkaru and founded Calcutta Review. Notably, his "History of the War in Afghanistan" was well-received. Joining the East India Company's Civil Service in 1856, he authored the comprehensive History of the Sepoy War in India.
