The Nawab René Madec

By Emile Barbe

Ren Madec, a soldier of fortune in 18th century India, lived his life with exemplary courage. He lived a beautiful life of adventure in an ensouled world which we today in an ennervated world cannot help but admire.

Born to a commoner family, by virtue of his military & civil career he became a noble & was knighted by Louis XVI. Ren fought battles & skirmishes on behalf of all existing states in late 18th century Northern India (except one). From his sudden arrival in India at the age of 17/18, till his last military action in India at the Siege of Pondicherry (1778), this masterful, sometimes poetic book by Emile Barb covers all the details of Ren 's life and career.

My first ever translated & republished work, this book offers insights into military life in the declining Mughal era, eyewitness accounts of events & wars which have escaped history, and a rare (perhaps only) surviving non-Persian act of ennoblement by the Mughal Court.
