Description

The book covers rather an obscure corner of Indian History relating to the successors (1707-1803) of Alamgir Aurangzeb.

Notwithstanding difficulties in getting to authentic sources for the subject-matter, this work is an interesting, lucid and informative read. It provides an in-depth study of Commissioned Ranks and mode of recruitment, Pay and Allowances, Rewards and Distinctions, Different Branches of Service, Discipline, Drills and Exercises, Conduct of a Battle, Forts and Sieges.
