10 reviews for The Indian Frontier: Horse and Warband in the Making of Empires

  1. Name –

    This book offers a unique perspective on Indian history. The details on the warbands were fascinating!

  2. Aastha –

    Interesting topic, but the writing style was a bit dry for my taste. Still, learned a lot!

  3. M Fathima Saira –

    While thorough, it occasionally gets bogged down in detail. The big picture gets lost sometimes.

  4. Priyal Jain Jain –

    Excellent scholarship on the impact of warhorses! The connections to Eurasian history were particularly insightful. Highly recommend.

  5. Samarth Chopra –

    A scholarly work, but accessible to the general reader. The importance of horses is clearly demonstrated.

  6. Tarun Ohlyan –

    A fascinating look at the role of horses in Indian history. Gommans really dives deep. Sometimes felt a bit too academic.

  7. Dev Kumar Gupta –

    The author successfully connects the Indian story to broader Eurasian trends. A must-read for history buffs!

  8. Shrey Ramanbhai Patel –

    I was hoping for more exciting war stories. It was more about economics and breeding. Still informative though.

  9. Mrinmay Saha –

    A niche subject, but the author makes it engaging. Could have used more maps/illustrations. Overall, a good read.

  10. Aha Gupta –

    Gommans provides a well-researched account of the horse’s influence. A bit dense, but worth the effort.
