The Anarchy
The East India Company, Corporate Violence, and the Pillage of an Empire
Book • 2019
The Anarchy recounts the remarkable rise of the East India Company from its humble beginnings in 1599 to its military dominance over the Indian subcontinent by 1803.
The book details the company's territorial conquests, starting from the Battle of Plassey in 1757, and its eventual control over large swaths of Asia.
Dalrymple draws from previously untapped sources, including Indian, Persian, and French materials, to provide a vivid and detailed story of corporate greed, violence, and the fall of the Mughal Empire.
The book also explores the broader implications of corporate power and its impact on colonial rule.
