Book Details
First Sentence
"The arrival of Muslim armies on the subcontinent scene in the eighth century A.D heralded the beginning of a new chapter in the history of weaponry and warfare. Using superior weapons and sharper battle tactics the Muslims gradually wore down the resistance facing them to become the masters of India. Unfortunately no proper stock was ever taken of the weapons generally used by the Muslim armies. The lacuna was regrettable in the extreme."
