Cloth. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Hardback. First Edition. Plassey. The Founding of an Empire. Price clipped to D/J. The battle of Plassey was one of those infrequent events in history which are accepted as turning points without any clear reason why they should be. Militarily, Plassey was a tricial affair, yet its consequences were enormous, for India, for Britain, and for the personalities involved. It was, in fact, a skirmish symbolising the triumph of a conspiracy. As in all conspiracies, megalomania and ambition played a vital role, but there were also sound commercial and political motivations. The British were not consiously fighting for 'empire', though Clive was well aware of the potentialities; they were fighting for the profits of trade. The real engineers of Clive's victory were the Hindu merchants and bankers of Calcutta and Murshidabad, who wanted to remove the Nawab of Bengal, Siraj-ud-daula, and replace him with a rule more sympathetic to their interests. They chose to conspire with the British, but they might well ahve chosen the French. Michael Edwardes, drawing upon his unrivalled knowled of Indian history, presents a vivid picture of the intrigue and the fighting, and contibutes a masterly evocation of the founding of an empire. Illustrated and with maps. 209 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
