Tippoo Sultaun by Philip Meadows Taylor

An intensely passionate tale of love and intrigues,faith and betrayal,feuds and wars.This pleasantly congruous mix of fact and fiction had been culled out of one of the most momentous periods of Indian history-the times of Tippoo Sultaun.Tippoo’s three-front animosity with the Marathas,the Nizam of Hayderabad and the British form the warp through which late Colonel Meadows Taylor deftly weaves his fervid account.
