Recenzii

'Professor Welsch vividly highlights the crucial significance of European military officers in the dynamic creation and expansion of the English East India Company's rule over India. She thus adds erudite depth to our understanding of the martial foundations of British colonialism.' Michael Fisher, Oberlin College
'The Company's Sword is a thorough evaluation of the EIC's army as more than just a tool of empire, but interpreters of its authority. This book shows how European officers in India established and maintained rule 'by the sword' as a concept of empire that endured until 1857 and beyond.' Kevin Linch, University of Leeds
