The distinguished historian Robert Orme (British) has paid a great tribute to Shivaji. Shivaji possessed all the qualities of a commander. He spared no cost to obtain intelligence of all motions and intentions of his enemies and even of their minuter imports. In personal activities he exceeded all the generals of whom there is record. No general ever traversed as much ground as he, at the head of armies. He met every emergency of peril howsoever sudden and extreme with instant discernment and unshaken fortitude. The ablest of his officers acquiesced to the imminent superiority of his genius, and the boast of the soldier was to have seen Shivaji charging, sword in hand.
