First Edn. port. frontis, list of subs., fold. map hd. cold. in outline, lg. fold. plt., errata leaf & 'Addenda to the Errata' slip, cont. calf, some wear at edges, joints restored, mor. label. Extremely rare First Edition. (1) N.B. Page 77/78 missing from the Book. N.B. ** George Thomas (1756-1802) from Roscrea, County Tipperary went to India in the late 18th century and became a mercenary for hire, drilling and training native troops in the superior methods of European warfare. Tiring of the duplicitous and miserly ways of his Indian employers, Thomas struck out on his own. With his faithful followers, the Irish warlord headed for a vulnerable no man's land in the most fertile part of India, west of Delhi. Through a mixture of the military genius and extreme violence for which he was famous, Thomas carved out a large kingdom for himself and proved to be a benevolent ruler whose subjects prospered under his rule. The Irish Rajah was a progressive leader, rebuilding towns, re-establishing the rule of law, encouraging settlers in a previously sparsely uninhabited and war-torn countryside. He instituted pensions for his troops - something unheard of at the time - and even minted his own coins. To fund his state, Thomas hired out his army and military genius to neighbouring states for hard cash. His unbroken string of military victories made Thomas a threat to rival military powers. They were so envious of his meteoric rise to power that they did the unthinkable - they joined together. Thomas had other plans and was determined to fight to the last. At one stage his 2,000 men fought and won an epic battle against 40,000 troops. Thomas's fame spread across continents. Wellington even studied his military campaigns and adopted his tactics. Now he is all but forgotten, except for the descendants of his subjects, who still remember him as a legendary hero. At the end of his life he agreed to dictate his autobiography in Persian, 'as from constant use it was more familiar than his native language'. It is no wonder that Thomas may have inspired Kipling's story 'The Man Who Would Be King', which was later turned into a film starring Sean Connery and Michael Caine.
