Zusammenfassung:"Based on a vast range of primary sources from Europe and India, this thorough study explores the wider geo-political, cultural and institutional context of the Mughal military. Gommans also details practical and technological aspects of combat, such as gunpowder technologies and the animals used in battle. His comparative analysis throws new light on much-contested theories of gunpowder empires and the spread of the military revolution." "As the first original analysis of Mughal warfare for almost a century, this will make essential reading for military specialists, students of military history and general Asian history."--BOOK JACKET.
