A powerful analysis of the rise and fall of the British East India
Company, a private company that conquered a subcontinent and
subjugated an entire people.

Elegantly written and sharply argued, Nick Robins' gripping account
of the rise and fall of the English East India Company brings to
life a crucial episode in the history of globalization.

The book has been widely reviewed and the scholarship behind it has
never been questioned. And - something that is not always the case
with history books - it is certainly well written.
