Description: This work discusses the period just before the British invaded India as a colonised land and highlights the role played by British military individuals in carrying out this humongous task. The book inevitably glorifies the British Empire, showing it as a 'saviour' of a nation that was 'decaying.' It also discusses how the British military had to get rid of other colonial competitors, the French, Dutch and the Portuguese.
