- Title
The Anarchy: The Relentless Rise of the East India Company.
- Authors
NELSON, ROSS
- Abstract
While presenting the EIC's subjugation of so much of the sub-continent as "the supreme act of corporate violence in world history" (p. 394), Dalrymple dispels any sense that this was an inevitable outcome of British military superiority. To this end he utilises substantial underused archival resources, including eighteenth-century East India Company (EIC) records long hidden in the depths of the National Archives of India, together with untranslated Persian and French histories. What were the implications for India during the eighteenth century of the largest corporate takeover in history?.
