The Lion and the Tiger

The Rise and Fall of the British Raj, 1600-1947

Beschreibung

Telling the story of the remarkable British impact upon India, this book examines what the Raj really meant for the British and their Indian subjects. Among the questions explored are whether the British were intent on development or exploitation, whether they were the civilizing force they claimed, and what their greatest legacies were.
