Descriptionof Wellington and the British Army's Indian Campaigns 1798 - 1805
Manufacturer

The Napoleonic Wars in Europe are subjects of such enduring interest that they have sparked extensive research and writing. Other military operations occurring during the same period, however, have been largely ignored. This is the case for the war in India, which persisted throughout much of the era of the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars, reaching its climax between 1798 and 1805 with the campaigns of Arthur Wellesleythe future Duke of Wellingtonand General Lake in the Deccan and Hindustan. For this reason, Martin Howards study is both timely and important. While fully acknowledging Wellingtons pivotal role, it also examines the nature of the warring armies, the significance of General Lakes campaigns in Northern India, and provides the reader with an understanding of the human experience of war in the region. This was a brutal conflict in which British armies clashed with the formidable forces of the Sultan of Mysore and those of the Maratha princes. There were dramatic battles at Assaye, Argaum, Delhi, and Laswari, and epic sieges at Seringapatam, Gawilghur, and Bhurtpore.
