From the beginnings of the East India Company in the seventeenth century down to February 28, 1948, when the First Battalion, the Somerset Light Infantry, became the last British soldiers to leave Indian soil, Geoffrey Moorhouse charts the course of British rule in India. He does so with enthusiasm and even-handedness: the result is a highly individual and vivid portrayal of Britain's greatest Imperial possession. [back cover].
