AND TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR 'Dalrymple is a superb historian with a visceral understanding of
India . A book of beauty' - Gerard DeGroot  The Times 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.
