About the book
William Dalrymple reveals the extraordinary story of how the British East India Company gradually conquered India between 1600 and 1850, transforming a trading company into an imperial power. The book documents the violence, ambition, and complex negotiations that shaped colonization.
With an engaging narrative and deep research, Dalrymple deconstructs myths about British imperialism, showing how private agents, before the state itself, orchestrated the domination of a subcontinent through diplomacy, mercenaries, and brute force.
