The Butcher of Amritsar: Brigadier-General Reginald Dyer
Brigadier-General Reginald Dyer
Nigel Collett
On 13 April 1919, General Reginald Dyer marched a squad of Indian soldiers into the Jallianwala Bagh in Amritsar, and opened fire without warning on a crowd gathered to hear political speeches. This is an account of the massacre set in the context of a biography of a man whose attitudes reflected many of the views common in the Raj.
