This book was written immediately after the third Anglo Mysore War by Major Dirom [1757-1830] who was the Deputy Adjutant of His Majesty's Forces in India.

He provides a meticulous chronicle of the military operations against Tipu Sultan, culminating in the siege and fall of Seringapatam. The narrative combines Dirom's firsthand observations with a compilation of official journals and documents, presenting a vivid and authoritative account of the campaign's strategic maneuvers, key battles, and the eventual peace treaty.

The book not only serves as a military history but also offers insights into the broader implications of the conflict, including its impact on British colonial policy and the political landscape of South India. The inclusion of illustrative maps and plans aids in visualizing the troop movements and fortifications, making it an invaluable resource for historians and enthusiasts of military history.
