Description

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

Book Preview: #1 The British empire was centered around the sun, as they bragged, and the sun always shone on some part of their imperium. But a revolt nearly a century after the American Revolution threatened British control of India.

#2 The British were shocked by the betrayal of the Indian soldiers, who had slaughtered British women and children. The Indians were looked upon as inferior beings.

#3 The British had the largest empire, but they were not the only ones. Other European nations, like France, Russia, and the Netherlands, had sizable empires and enormous captive populations at their beck and call.

#4 The British administrators who ruled India were not oblivious to the cultures of their subordinates. They understood them, and often adapted to them, living their lives separate from those making decisions in London.
