Review
A lively, informed, and balanced account of a remarkable but controversial career. Clive was an unlikely military commander who, in just a few years, transformed the fortunes of the British in India and enriched his family in the process. ―

In our own day when (informal) empire and globalism are talked about and witnessed with ease, Clive’s position as both a servant of the East India Company―which developed into the world’s largest transnational trading company at the time―and an agent of imperialism makes him a surprisingly resonant figure.”,”bookEdition”:”Illustrated”,”url”:”https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1612341683/”,”bookFormat”:”http://schema.org/EBook”,”additionalType”:”http://schema.org/PDF”,”fileSize”:”83 MB”,”accessibilityFeature”:[“login required”,”member access only”],”accessibilitySummary”:”PDF version available to authenticated members only.
