Produktbeschreibung

This book presents a comprehensive survy of warfare in India up to the point where the British began to dominate the sub-continent. It discusses such issues as How far was the relatively bloodless nature of pre-British Indian warfare the product of stateless Indian society? How far did technology determine the shape of warfare in India? and Did warfare in this period have a particular Indian nature and was it ritualistic?
