A book that should be read by anyone with an interest in military history - and the history of the British Army in particular. A valuable insight into how Britain came to add India to the Empire and gain its brightest jewel in the imperial crown. It will also appeal to anybody with a love of the sub continent. [the author] skilfully examines the rise of the East India Company. A fascinating account. This is an authoritative and well-researched account that provides the reader with a greater understanding not only of the history of the British Indian Army, but also of the impact that the Indian experience had on the entire British Army.
