Between the years 1659 and 1818, the Marathas rose to prominence, grew to dominate the country and were eclipsed by the British empire. Along the way, decisive wars and battles were fought across the country by them. These battles had important and long term consequences, at times completely changing the political direction of the country. e.g. the Maratha-Mughal War or the Second Anglo-Maratha War.

The book focuses on these battles or series of battles, throwing a spotlight on the chess-like moves and tactics that led to victory (or defeat) on the battlefield. After every chapter, I have tried to analyse the effects of the victory or defeat, with the great benefit of hindsight.

The battles include Chhatrapati Shivaji and his slaying of Afzal Khan at Pratapgad, continue on to the Maratha-Mughal War of 27 years, immerse into the exploits of the Peshwas, Bajirao and Madhavrao, and finally the reasons this empire fell in the face of British opposition.

Initially written as stand alone articles, either published on my personal website or other online fora, the efforts of the past seven to eight years have finally reached the logical conclusion - a compilation. A few of the articles on Peshwa Bajirao, Madhavrao and Mahadji Scindia are entirely new.
