The Anarchy

The East India Company, Corporate Violence, and the Pillage of an Empire

William Dalrymple

This riveting book unveils the story of the East India Company as it took control of Asia and ran a country with devastating consequences. At the heart of this story lies the creation of a government run by English traders who collected taxes through a private army. The company, transformed into an aggressive colonial power, ruled almost all of India south of Delhi for 47 years, leaving a painful legacy in its wake.

"The Anarchy is a fascinating book about how India was colonized in the world’s first takeover of a civilization by a multinational company. Dalrymple is a fantastic historian & this book is a must-read for anyone trying to understand how and why."      источник

Anyone who thinks there’s much good to say about the British Empire should read @DalrympleWill’s brilliant book on the East India Company. A long tale of plunder, extortion, war & murder Maybe the ‘dominions’ are different, but not for indigenous peoples of Australia & N Zealand      источник
