Kim A. Wagner is Professor of Global and Imperial History at Queen Mary, University of London. He completed a Ph.D. on the subject of 'Thuggee' at the University of Cambridge in 2003, supervised by the late Professor Sir Christopher Bayly. His research is situated at the cusp of Imperial and Global history, focussing on knowledge, crime and resistance in British India, and on colonial violence and warfare in the nineteenth and early twentieth century. His publications include Thuggee: Banditry and the British in Early Nineteenth-Century India (Palgrave, 2007); Stranglers and Bandits: A Historical Anthology of Thuggee (OUP India, 2009); The Great Fear of 1857: Rumours, Conspiracies and the Making of the Indian Uprising (Peter Lang, 2010); The Skull of Alum Bheg: The Life and Death of a Rebel of 1857 (Hurst/OUP/Penguin, 2017); and Amritsar 1919: An Empire of Fear and the Making of a Massacre (Yale, 2019).
I strongly recommend the purchase of this novel to casual readers who want to enjoy an adventure that has some hints of history. * Pennsylvania Literary Journal *
