THE MILITARY IN BRITISH INDIA: The Development of British Land Forces in South Asia 1600-1947

1-203130

Examines British rule in South Asia and the military's position in the constitution of British India. By placing these conflicts clearly in their local context, his account moves away from the Euro-centric approach of many writers on British imperial military history. It provides a greater understanding not only of the history of the British Indian Army but also of the Indian experience, which had such a formative an effect on the British Army itself. This new edition has been fully revised and given appropriate illustrations.
