Reviews

'Whereas much is known about the Scots in the British Indian Empire, the role of the Irish has been so far neglected. Crosbie's study is therefore a welcome addition to the literature on the contribution of various British ethnic groups to the maintenance of the empire … This book can be recommended to readers who are interested in Irish history as well as in Indian history. It is also good contribution to the study of social networks. Both the advocates of a New Imperial History and those who favour more traditional historical studies will find Crosbie's approach attractive.' Dietmar Rothermund, H-Soz-u-Kult
