Summary: In Climate of Conquest, the author offers a new analysis of the Mughal empire from the vantage point of war. He eschews the conventional way of writing about war primarily in terms of battles and technologies. Instead, he explores the world of military labour, formation of imperial frontiers, legitimization of conquest, and influence of environment on military campaigns. What emerges is an interpretation of Mughal empire-building as a highly adaptive, flexible, and accommodative process. https://india.oup.com/product/climate-of-conquest-9780199495559
