Title: Dawning of the Raj
First published: 2000
Description: "Nothing in the history of empire is stranger than the creation of British rule in India, when a small European island became master of a subcontinent ranging from the Indian Ocean to the Himalayas. In the late eighteenth century, the person most responsible for this enterprise was Warren Hastings, Britain's first governor-general of India. In Dawning of the Raj, Jeremy Bernstein brings to life in vivid colors Hastings's story set against the background of the rise of British power."--BOOK JACKET.
