In November 1817, the Maratha Empire—a formidable power that had shaped the destiny of the Indian subcontinent for over a century—stood on the precipice of total collapse. As the forces of Peshwa Bajirao II clashed with the British East India Company, a young Scottish military engineer named Captain John MacLeod marched directly into the chaos.
An Eyewitness Account of The End of the Maratha Empire presents MacLeod’s complete, day-by-day field journal. Far from a dry military dispatch, this diary offers a rare, unfiltered window into a world moments before it changed forever. Readers will traverse the rugged Deccan plateau in pursuit of the retreating Peshwa. You will experience the visceral realities of the Third Anglo-Maratha War, including fort sieges, sudden skirmishes, chaotic tiger hunts, and the desperate plundering of ancient manuscripts.
