The East India Company , The by Philip Lawson
This is the first short history of the East India Company from its founding in 1600 to its demise in 1857, designed for students and academics.

It stresses the neglected early years of the Company, and its intimate relationship with (and impact upon) the domestic British scene.'xxx;a straightforward and clear narrativexxx;Lawson has provided both an accurate guide to the main debates and a means of pursuing the subject further through more detailed reading
