Reviews
'Mallampalli offers us micro-history in the best tradition, throwing light on the broadest themes of security, intelligence and justice under the British Raj. His book makes compelling reading.' David Washbrook, Trinity College, Cambridge 'This book is a fine piece of scholarship on hitherto little studied episodes in which British officers, misled by unscrupulous informants, mistook local intrigues for an international conspiracy against colonial rule.' Marc Gaborieau, Centre for South Asian Studies, Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales '... A Muslim Conspiracy in British India? is an elucidating and at times gripping account that will certainly hold appeal for students of both British and South Asian history.' Zak Leonard, Reviews in History
