An excellent account of eighteenth century India. It is quite a long book but I found it difficult to put down. It is well written and obviously very well researched. What interested me was the relaxed attitude of both the English and the Indians and it was not until the beginning of the next century with the advent of Wellesley and Victorian ideas that life began to change.
