The Making of the Raj by Ian St John
This book opens up a frequently neglected aspect of the rise of British power in India: namely, the impact of that process upon the lives the Indian people themselves for three centuries. Most traditional Raj histories deal with the actions, motives, and thoughts of the British who occupied, governed, and administered the subcontinent.
There has been, of course, an abundance of scholarship, but no good synthesis to make it widely availableThis is what St. John set out to provide, and he has succeeded admirably. . . This is a splendid introduction to its remarkable story. Summing Up: Essential. All levels/libraries. * Choice *
Ian St. John received his doctor of philosophy degree in modern history at Nuffield College, Oxford, England, and is head of history at Haberdashers' Aske's Boys' School, Elstree, England.
