Havelock (Barnes & Noble Digital Library)

Published in 1890 as part of the English Men of Action series, Havelock chronicles the life of Major-General Sir Henry Havelock, one of Britain’s greatest military leaders. Written in a fast-paced, journalistic style, the book covers Havelock from his youth through his brilliant military career—which culminates with his heroics during the Indian Rebellion of 1857.
