"The content is drawn from two sources, firstly entries to the Anglo-Indian Literary Contest in 2003/4.

Secondly there is a 'Guest contributors' section which features the work of distinguished Anglo-Indian writers such as Ruskin Bond, William Dalrymple and Russell Lucas. The aim of the book is twofold, firstly its publication will help in preserving the culture of the Anglo-Indian community for posterity. Secondly the entire proceeds of the book go to CTR, a USA based 'not for profit' organisation ... dedicated to helping Anglo-Indians in India..."

Cornwell's historical fiction takes in the [[4th Mysore War]] and [[2nd Maratha War]] in this trilogy within his Richard Sharpe series of books. Technically accurate and informative, they are exciting and enjoyable for fans of the era and this popular fictional genre.
