## Description

In medieval India, when large empires routinely devoured smaller kingdoms, one nation stood its ground for six centuries—the Ahom kingdom of Assam. The Sixteenth Invasion is a gripping retelling of two major attempts by the Mughals to conquer the kingdom, and the ingenuity with which the Ahoms resisted, using what nature had bestowed upon them: the torrential rains, the mighty Brahmaputra and the unforgiving terrain. But this is more than a story of war. It is a story of ambition and greed, courage and sacrifice, loyalty and betrayal. Vijay Gogoi recreates a world of rivalries, political intrigue, daring strategy, and indomitable resolve, bringing to life the people who stood against one of the greatest empires of their age. A riveting work, The Sixteenth Invasion celebrates one of India’s greatest stories of resilience and triumph.
