GB Mallesons The Decisive Battles of India From 1746 to 1849 is a comprehensive history of a critical period of history when the British controlled India as a colonial possession and the fighting against domestic and foreign opponents in their efforts to maintain the colony From the preface This volume contains the story of the conquest of the several races of India by our countrymen To this purpose are devoted eleven out of the twelve chapters of which it is composed The remaining chapter the first in order in the book is the key to all others for it records an event but for the occurrence of which the battles which follow might have been indefinitely postponed It was the victory of Paradis on the Adyar over the army of the native ruler of the Karnatak which inverted the position of the Europeans on the eastern coast and the children of the soil The battles which illustrate the story were all in the truest sense of the term decisive battles It cannot be denied that some of them showed a small list of casualties and in many the numbers on one side at all events were few If I may judge from some criticisms which have appeared this fact alone would be held to be sufficient to remove those battles from the category I claim for them There are some critics who judge of the importance of a battle solely by the amount of the slaughter produced on both sides

Undoubtedly the most famous work of military history of the nineteenth century Edward S Creasyâs Fifteen Decisive Battles of the World has been read and reread for close to 150 years It is not only the authoritative account of each battle that makes Creasyâs work such a classicit is his command of narrative his interest in human struggle his profound deductions as to effects of the battles and his striving after truth Furthermore his selections seem as wise and wellconsidered today as when Fifteen Decisive Battles first appeared in 1851 Nobody since has made better ones nor given us better accounts Apart from the scholarship and literary skill of Creasyâs book there is another reason it has endured Creasy was essentially fairminded He had been a judge and when he became Englandâs great military critic and historian he maintained a thoroughly judicial attitude He was not a British partisan nor French nor Germanhe was a cosmopolitan observer of great eventsOut of 2300 years Creasy only found fifteen battles which he called decisive in the highest sense He chose them not for the number of killed and wounded nor for their status in myth and lore but because they fundamentally changed the course of world history In doing so he made his book a miniature military history of the western world a classic that will repay continued study for generations to come as it has for generations
