In August 1765 the East India Company defeated the young Mughal emperor and forced him to establish a new administration in his richest provinces. Run by English merchants who collected taxes using a ruthless private army, this new regime saw the East India Company transform itself from an international trading corporation into something much more unusual: an aggressive colonial power in the guise of a multinational business.

William Dalrymple tells the remarkable story of the East India Company as it has never been told before, unfolding a timely cautionary tale of the first global corporate power.

Review This Product

An eye-opener

Thu, 9 Jun 2022 | Review by: George K.

Dalrymple is an experienced and highly competent researcher. He knows his sources and is a compelling writer, with a message (in this particular book) for all of us today, living as we do in a world run by mega-corporations.
