5.0 out of 5 stars The fall of a mighty king by his own people
Reviewed in India on 16 February 2014

Beautifully written . The facts of TIPU brought out by the author is truly remarkable . It is sad to know that that a great and noble king like Tipu Sultan was deceived and responsible for his downfall by his own people , his close associates. Sad but true we live with such treacherous people all around us.

5.0 out of 5 stars For all the lies published in the Great Book...
Reviewed in India on 12 July 2015
First of all this book gets 5 stars because it portrays Tipu in a light that he absolutely wasn't. So when you read the book simply add the words 'not', 'wasn't'...before any of the gorgeous adjectives used for him. But as a renowned work (popularized by leftists) one must read it (or if you have seen it on TV) so you get to know how spine less popular historians were in the erstwhile age, 20th century. Of course it was Catch 22, if you wrote truth, you weren't accepted in the circles and your work will only gather dust. However a compromise on TRUTH says a lot about the CHARACTER of these authors, ready to compromise for main stream Leftist Acceptance.

Cut all the crap when you are done with all the opinions and come to what Tipu had written himself,
'Select letters of Tippoo Sultan to various public functionaries ..by Tipu Sultan, Fath Ali, Nawab of Mysore, 1753-1799; Kirkpatrick, William, 1754-1812
and get another insight of history from the horses mouth. Please ofcourse don't ask why such litereature isn't available freely, you already have the answer. If you want more, there is ample well researched literature from people who aren't LIARS.

2.0 out of 5 stars Its more like a novel rather than a factual historical book
Reviewed in India on 19 December 2016
A highly romanticised book.
Its more like a novel rather than a factual historical book.
Felt it was highly biased towards Tipu and Hyder, as if they were infallible.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 December 2015

Really insightful book about the life of this Warrior King, one of the few who stood up and fought the British in India. Gives an amazing account of a reluctant Prince who gets dragged into war, although its against his nature. 18th century India was a very complex picture and this book will help you understand a very important phase, the colonization of the land and the practical use of the 'Divide and Rule' strategy.
