On November 17, 1579, at the invitation of the Akbar, the Mughal emperor, three Jesuit missionaries set out from Goa on a journey that would lead them across much of the Indian subcontinent as they travelled to Fatehpur Sikri, the capital of the Mughal Empire. In true Jesuit form, the three missionaries produced copious writings during the mission, which included detailed journals and letters. Before the fathers departed, the Provincial superior of Goa had charged Father Antony Monserrate with keeping a comprehensive record of the mission. Between 1582 and 1590, Monserrate compiled his Commentary based on the notes that he had made daily for the duration of the mission. Once completed, the Commentary effectively disappeared from the historical record until 1906 when it was rediscovered at St. Paul's Cathedral Library in Kolkata. Since its re-emergence, the Commentary has become one of the foremost primary resources for both the study of Akbar and the Mughal Empire and early Jesuit missions. Yet, despite its presence in all major studies and analyses in the areas mentioned above, there has never been a detailed examination of the Commentary itself. Monserrate spent eight years meticulously assembling the Commentary; therefore, the deliberate method, language, and structure he used in its construction deserve some consideration of their own. Monserrate demonstrated both humanist and exclusivist elements within the text of the Commentary. To assess the presence of these positions within the text, both travel literature theory and martyrological literary analysis are employed.

The Mughal Empire was one of the great powers of the early modern era, ruling almost all of South Asia, a conquest state, dominated by its military elite. Many historians have viewed the Mughal Empire as relatively backward, the Emperor the head of a traditional warband from Central Asia, with tribalism and the traditions of the Islamic world to the fore, and the Empire not remotely comparable to the forward looking Western European states of the period, with their strong innovative armies implementing the “military revolution”. This book argues that, on the contrary, the military establishment built by the Emperor Babur and his successors was highly sophisticated, an effective combination of personnel, expertise, technology and tactics, drawing on precedents from Europe, the Middle East, Central Asia and India, and that the resulting combined arms system transformed the conduct of warfare in South Asia. The book traces the development of the Mughal Empire chronologically, examines weapons and technology, tactics and operations, organization, recruitment and training, and logistics and non-combat operations, and concludes by assessing the overall achievements of the Mughal Empire, comparing it to its Western counterparts, and analyzing the reasons for its decline.
