Tapa blanda. Zustand: Nuevo. La India, noviembre de 1857. Los soldados nativos del ejército británico se han amotinado en masa y asedian las principales ciudades norteñas de la inmensa colonia. En Lucknow, capital del último reino anexionado por la Corona, los ciudadanos europeos y la pequeña guarnición que los protege llevan sitiados desde junio por miles de insurrectos. Un primer intento de socorro fracasa estrepitosamente y no logra más que complicar la situación de los defensores. Cuando llega la noticia de que una segunda columna de rescate se encuentra en camino, un audaz funcionario civil irlandés se ofrece para atravesar el cerco disfrazado de rebelde indio, contactar con la fuerza de socorro y guiarla a través de las serpenteantes calles de la ciudad hasta el recinto donde resisten sus camaradas. Por el coraje demostrado durante esta acción Thomas Henry Kavanagh fue condecorado con la Cruz Victoria, el más alto y distinguido galardón británico al valor, concedido en tan sólo cinco ocasiones a un civil. Esta es, contada con sus propias palabras, la historia de aquella aventura y de las muchas otras que vivió su protagonista durante la revuelta, en las que no faltan combates en oscuras galerías subterráneas, cargas de caballería o arriesgados asaltos contra las fortificaciones enemigas.
