About this product

Product Information

The East India Company has played a crucial role in the development of the world as we know it and is key to the very fabric of British society and culture. In the year 2,000, a major exhibition at the British Library celebrates the 400th anniversary of the birth of this unique institution. Established by Royal Charter in 1600, the East India Company quickly came to control over half the world's trade and a quarter of its population. It ruled India, raised its own army and navy, minted its own currency and traded with every corner of the globe. The structure of the book will be broadly chronological, but also focus on particular subjects and incidents - tea, silks, jewellery, cashmere, spices, ships and navigation, battles, communication routes, the opium trade, the English gentleman abroad, India's First War of Independence, etc. The East India Company is alive and well today and has access to a visual archive of its history, which would be used to illustrate the book.

An Excellent Introduction to the Subject
As the author himself notes, this work is a compsoite history designed to introduce the reader to the history of the East India Company. The book is laden with rich, colour plates that bring alive what that period in history must have been like. Despite the fact that there are a number of typographical errors it is a compelling read and there is no shortage of specialist works on this topic that the interested reader can pursue after he/she has read this book.
