Recenzii
Nester has thoroughly and admirably mined the documentary sources, especially British military and government records, necessary to understanding this conflict. The depth of research, detailed description, and comfortable writing style make this work a fine example of popular-minded history done well."Haughty Conquerors" provides a step-by-step recounting of the end of the Seven Years' War and northern Indian resistance to the imposition of British rule.
"Haughty Conquerors" flows easily, is an informative read, and is nicely proofed. Undergraduates and the general reader can both enjoy the narrative.
"Haughty Conquerors" is a valuable work. It is especially so for its detailed and well-written blow-by-blow account of an event that is both widely known and largely misunderstood.
