George Bruce Malleson

George Bruce Malleson (May 8, 1825 - March 1, 1898), English officer in India and author, was born at Wimbledon.

Educated at Winchester, he obtained a cadetship in the Bengal infantry in 1842, and served through the second Burmese War. His subsequent appointments were in the civil line, the last being that of guardian to the young maharaja of Mysore. He retired with the rank of colonel in 1877, having been created C.S.I. in 1872.

He was a voluminous writer, his first work to attract attention being the famous "Red Pamphlet," published at Calcutta in 1857, when the Mutiny was at its height. He continued, and considerably rewrote the "History of the Indian Mutiny" (6 vols., 1878-1880), which was begun but left unfinished by Sir John Kaye. Among his other books the most valuable are "History of the French in India" (2nd ed., 1893) and "The Decisive Battles of India" (3rd ed., 1888).
