Dawning of the Raj by Jeremy Bernstein
Posterity has remembered Warren Hastings not for his career but for its aftermath. But, as this thoroughly researched biography demonstrates, Hastings was also, more than anyone else, the founder of the extraordinary institution that was British India.
'Well-argued and impressive.. manages to sum up the often very complicated power struggles of mid-to-late eighteenth-century India in a way that is comprehensible, entertaining and accurate.' - Andrew Roberts 'A riveting book, beautifully researched and narrated. It should attract a wide audience.' - Oliver Sacks
Jeremy Bernstein was a staff writer for the New Yorker for over thirty years. His previous books about the Indian subcontinent are Mountain Passages and In the Himalayas.
