Queen Victoria's Enemies (3): India

by Ian Knight

  

€ 16.25 

ISBN: 9780850459432

Ian Knight's fascinating text examines the absorbing, dramatic and brutal history of the East India Company's exploits against Victoria's Indian enemies.

By the time Queen Victoria came to the throne, India - some 1,600,000 square miles, ranging from soaring mountains to deserts and jungle swamps, populated by 400,000,000 people with a kaleidoscope of different cultures and religions - was firmly in the grip of a handful of British East India Company administrators, either ruling directly or through Indian nominees.

However, the Company's search for a policy in western India embroiled it in a string of military campaigns, including one of the worst disasters ever to befall a British army.
