India's Historic Battles: From Alexander the Great to Kargil

This book describes twelve great battles which changed the course of India's history. The book takes recent researches into technology, military theory and demography into account. Each chapter analyses the weapons, leadership, strategy, soldiers' experience of battle, and much else. Alternative scenarios are outlined to ask if the outcome could have differed if other tactics were used. A detailed bibliographical essay provides a starting point for those interested in pursuing battles beyond this book.
