About

Chronicling the sixteen-month battle between English and Mughal-allied forces, English East India Company at the Height of Mughal Expansion concentrates on how the armed conflict almost totally devastated the island. Using a previously unpublished diary by an English officer who participated in the 1689 Siege of Bombay, the book examines seventeenth-century warfare and social relations while adding historical context to this specific altercation to broaden your understanding of events and the time period.
