A bare, lowceilinged dungeon with two barred airholes, the cell known as the Black Hole prison, in the British East India Companys Fort William, was intended to hold at most a couple of prisoners. But on the terrible night of June 20, 1756, at the end of a fourday battle of astonishing ferocity which saw a vast Indian horde overwhelm the Forts defenders, 145 men and one woman were cruelly herded into the Black Hole. Only twentythree survived the ten horric hours till their release at dawn. The siege of Calcutta and the night of the Black Hole together comprise one of the most dramatic episodes of British Imperial history, and Noel Barbers detailed reconstruction is so gripping and wellwritten that I do not hesitate to class his book as history at its compellingly readable best.
