Synopses & Reviews
Just prior to the American Civil War, India burst into violent rebellion against its British masters. British soldiers and civilians were threatened with extermination in their most valued colonial possession, and the fighting at Lucknow was exceptionally brutal. In They Fight Like Devils -- a phrase that applies to both sides in the war -- we see the military course and human consequences of close-quarters combat waged with bestial ferocity.
