The history of the Anglo-Maratha struggle in single volume is being written for the first time. This forms an important part of Indian military history, a territory not very well explored. In a guerrilla war that lasted from 1682 to 1707, the Maratha Kingdom founded by Shivaji the Great, destroyed the Mughal power. It was not very long before Marathas became the per-eminent power on the Indian subcontinent. In 1761 however the Marathas suffered a major reverse in their effort to have an all India Empire when they lost heavily to Afghans in the battle of Panipat. The British seized this opportunity and beginning as Mughal vassal in Bengal, slowly extended their sway over the entire country. Marathas opposed the British and fought three wars. The story of these conflicts is an essential link in the chain of Indian history. The various record of this period from Portuguese and French sources have only become available on 1970s. An authentic and objective reconstruction of the history of that period can now be done. In order to keep continuity and also relevance, events other than the Anglo-Maratha struggle have also been covered in brief. Overall the book deals with the military history of Indian of 18th and early 19th century
