In this book, a sequel to "The Strongholds of India", Sidney Toy applies his great architectural and historical knowledge of India which is very rich in ancient fortified places. He has examinend personally a number of forts not previously dealt with in "Strongholds of India", as well as dealing in more detail with some of the sites investigated in that book.
The extensive and numerous fortifications built in India during the Middle Ages are of vital importance to the knowledge of the general development of military architecture throughout that period. The new material that this book contribues to the study of this subject makes an important and authorative work, as well as a fascinating one.
