About The Book: This concise account delves into the Musalman usurpation in Mysore, focusing on the extraordinary figures who shaped Indian history. It highlights the contrasting qualities of Haidar Ali and his son, with the former's ambition and audacity leading him to seize power, while the latter's bigotry and animosity towards the English resulted in the loss of his kingdom and life. Nonetheless, the book aims to depict the significant events that occurred during the 38-year rule of Haidar Ali and Tipu Sultan, a crucial period for British supremacy in India.
