Babur, the founder of the Mughul dynasty, was of Turco-Mongol origin. He was descended from Timur-i-Lenk [Tamerlane] on his father's side and Genghiz Khan on his mother's. His first raid into India in 1516 was followed by several others, and by the time of his death in 1530, Babur's troops had reached Bengal on the far side of the sub-continent.

With eight fine full-page colour plates by Angus McBride, and many other illustrations, this text by David Nicolle examines the organisation, tactics, and uniforms of Mughul armies from Babur's time onwards.
