Illustrations: 21 Bw Illustrations and 1 Map Description: Numerous books have been written on the Art and Science of War in the West, but a comprehensive and critical study of the subject in India through the ages is still a desideratum. That it is not only of absorbing interested but highly instructive admits of no doubt. True, there exist a few valuable works on Indian Warfare, none has exclusively dealt with the art of war in medieval period during the millenium from the 8th to the 18th century. Hence The Art of War in Medieval India is a pioneer work on the field, being a comparative and analytical survey of Rajput, Turko-Afghan, Mughal, Maratha, Sikh and Ahom systems of war on the basis of critical studies of all relevant sources, Indian and Islamic and in the background of the military classics of ancient China and of the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, of Clausewitz and Jomini. The present work is also a maiden effort to assail the scepticism prevailing in some quarters that the art had not flowered in ancient and Medieval India as in European countries. The author has skillfully shown that many principles of war strategy and operational tactics known in Europe were also not unknown in India. Greater emphasis has been given to what the author considers to be the basic ideas of army organization, methods and techniques, strategy, tactics and leadership than to specific details of war.

This engrossing anthology gathers together a remarkable collection of writings on the use of strategy in war. Gérard Chaliand has ranged over the whole of human history in assembling this collection—the result is an integration of the annals of military thought that provides a learned framework for understanding global political history. Included are writings from ancient and modern Europe, China, Byzantium, the Arab world, Persia, and the Ottoman Empire. Alongside well-known militarists such as Julius Caesar, Napoleon, Walter Raleigh, Rommel, and many others are "irregulars" such as Cortés, Lawrence of Arabia, and even Gandhi. Contrary to standard interpretations stressing competition between land and sea powers, or among rival Christian societies, Chaliand shows the great importance of the struggles between nomadic and sedentary peoples, and of the conflicts between Christianity and Islam. With the invention of firepower, a relatively recent occurrence in the history of warfare, modes of organization and strategic concepts—elements reflecting the nature of a society—have been key to how war is waged. Unparalleled in its breadth, this anthology will become the standard work for understanding a fundamental part of human history—the conduct of war. "This anthology is not only an unparalleled corpus of information and an aid to failing memory; it is also and above all a reliable and liberating guide for research. . . . Ranging "from the origins to the nuclear age," it compels us to widen our narrow perspectives on conflicts and strategic action and open ourselves up to the universal."—from the Foreword

The Mahabharata Is The Primary Source Book Of Indian Military Thought And Tradition. It Is Truly An Index Of Civilisational Development And Constitutes The Indian Weltanschuung . Over Two Millenniums Ago It Outlined An Attrition Oriented Indian Paradigm Of War That Was Primarily Centred On A Pure Force On Force Regime. The Indian Armies Of That Period Had Evolved From The Two Basic Arms Of The Early Vedic Period To A Highly Sophisticated Four Arms Structure Comprising Chariots, Elephants, Cavalry And Infanty. The Mahabharta Mentions Vyuhas Or Battle Arrays And Battle Drills That Coordinated The Actions Of These Four Variable Speed Manoeuver Masses On The Battlefield. The Prime Aim Was Destruction And Annihilation Of The Enemy Through Systematic Attrition. Suprprisingly, This Vyuhas Methodology Has Great Relevance For The Modern Mechanized Forces, Which Need To Synergies The Actions Of All Arms Teams In The Form Of Combat Groups And Teams.

India's military history goes back to the Indus or Harappan people who flourished 5,000 years ago; the history of military fortifications in the country goes back even further. It remains, however, a subject largely neglected by the country's historians. This book traces the evolution of India's military tactics and strategy during the ancient period and till the eleventh century ad by examining available sources from a dispassionate, professional military perspective. The author analyses the military factors which led to the end of the Harappan civilization. The Rig Veda contains a great deal of information about battles fought by the Aryans. The author makes use of the description of the first recorded battle, the Dasrajan War fought around 1900 bc, as a basis for reconstructing the strategy and tactics employed by the combatants. The portion of Kautilya's Arthashastra dealing with matters military has been examined at some length because it exercised a profound influence on the tactics of Indian warfare for over a millennium. Such loyalty to the injunctions of the shastras bred extreme conservatism in military doctrine and often effectively prevented progress and innovation in the art of war. Learning from experience, the Guptas repudiated Kautilya's static concept and successfully defended the country against the Hunas. This work traces how a subsequent reversion to tradition and the antiquated Kautilyan system led to tragic consequences.
