Challenging the published view of a colonial war, this collection argues for a fair, evidence‑based account of British operations in western India during the 1780s.
This nonfiction work gathers letters and reflections that defend the conduct of officers and soldiers under Brigadier General Mathews. Set against the siege and recovery of Mangulore, it weaves military detail with commentary on leadership, justice, and imperial policy. The author aims to balance criticism with a measured portrayal of courage, discipline, and the costs of war on both sides.
