This brilliant book is indispensable reading for anyone interested in the history of Britain, Asia and empire. --Sugata Bose, author of A Hundred Horizons: the Indian Ocean in the Age of Global Empire (20070701) Like their earlier collaborative volume, Forgotten Armies , Bayly and Harper's new book presents a fascinating story of Britain's Asian empire in transition.
