A Tale of the Mahratta War, this is the story of the war in which the power of the great Mahratta confederacy was broken. Begun by Clive, when the struggle began, the Mahrattas were masters of no small portion of India; their territory comprised the whole country between Bombay and Delhi; while in the south they were lords of the district of Cuttack, thereby separating Madras from Calcutta. The tale recounts one of the most stirring campaigns. 410 pages, hardcover.
