505			_aThis biography chronicles the life of Muhammad Yusuf Khan, a prominent figure in 18th-century South India. Originally serving as a commandant for the British East India Company, Yusuf Khan rose to prominence through his military acumen and leadership. He played a crucial role in suppressing the Palayakkarar (Polygar) uprisings in Tamil Nadu. However, due to a dispute with the British and the Nawab of Arcot, he was betrayed, captured during his morning prayers, and executed in 1764. Local legends suggest that he survived two earlier hanging attempts, leading to his body being dismembered and buried in different locations across Tamil Nadu.
520			_aHill's work delves into Yusuf Khan's rise from humble beginnings to a significant military leader, examining his administrative strategies, leadership qualities, and the socio-political dynamics of the time. The book provides insights into the complexities of colonial rule and the resistance movements in South India.
