This quartet of books described the horror and background to the East India company, and the fraud that went with it, and takes us through tp the end of the Moghul empire. Fascinating.The buying process was easy; delivery as promised; and the package arrived without damage or injury.

2.0 out of 5 stars A Biased Account of the History of the British in India Full of Unjustified Prejudice

E.H. · 7 February 2022

Although the books give an interesting description of high culture in India and the fate of various Indian rulers, the general approach is to explain or gloss over the crimes of the despotic Indian rulers and to magnify anything bad done by the British or their allies. In particular, the peculiar, ferocious and largely unsubstantiated attacks against individual British figures such as Lord Clive, who is described as a sociopath, and John Nicholson, who is described as a psychopath, reveal Dalrymple's prejudice. The Anarchy is particularly weak, as it fails to describe the history of the East India Company and the experience of ordinary people, but rather dwells mostly on the lifestyle and travails of its aristocratic enemies.

1.0 out of 5 stars Be careful of the packaging!
