The East India Company traces the English trading corporation from its charter in 1600 to its transformation into a territorial power in South Asia. It explains how commercial competition, private armies and alliances with Indian rulers allowed the company to expand, particularly after victories such as Plassey. The book examines trade, taxation, administration and rebellion before following the transfer of company rule to the British Crown after the uprising of 1857.
