WALL STREET JOURNAL 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.
