Abstract
ABSTRACT In the summer of 1857, the Bengal Army mutinied against the East India Company (EIC). Simultaneously, a civil rebellion erupted in north India. The Indian civil and military mutineers are clubbed together as rebels. The rebels conducted battles, sieges, and guerrilla warfare against the EIC. This article focuses on the logistics of British counterinsurgency between 1857 and 1859. The British won the “battle of logistics” because they had the resources of a global maritime state and superior industrial technology. Besides greater financial and technological resources, managerial innovations and use of Indian resources gave the British victory over the rebels.
