No Customer Reviews
From the 6th century AD, there was a prolonged struggle between the non-Islamic civilizations of the Indian subcontinent and those of the eastern Islamic world, concluding with the rise of the Mughal Empire in the 16th century. In this absorbing study, David Nicolle investigates the traditions of non-Islamic medieval Indian warfare, evident in recruitment patterns and the significance of archery and cavalry. The role and impact of war-elephants are considered, alongside the influence of climate and weather on warfare in this region. As well as assessing arms and armour, the author also explores siege warfare and riverine and naval combat in South Asia. Book jacket.
