In this study of the years in which the British set out to bring the whole of India under their control, the author takes as his focal point the careers of four men: David Ochterlony, Charles Metcalfe, John Malcolm and Mountstuart Elphinstone. Each was to play a vital part i9n the story of the British expansion; more than this, their careers were to represent the nature and spirit of British rule at this time. In bringing to life an exciting and colourful period of Indian history, the author reveals not only its drama and fascination but shows a sympathetic insight into the difficulties of empire, and into the natures and attitudes of the early imperialists. They had none of the hypocrisy and arrogance of later British rulers. Indeed, they would scarecly have understood - far less sympathised with - 'the mentality of Joshua's camp before Jericho' which was to characterise the men who followed them. Illustrated. 248 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 ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
