About This Book

The second volume continues the biography of Robert Clive, detailing his military campaigns in India, interactions with rival European powers, and the complex negotiations with regional rulers. It recounts operations in the Deccan and the Northern Circars, sieges and skirmishes, the destruction of opposing armaments, and episodes of disorder and massacre that shaped Bengal's politics. Chapters follow his returns to England, private character and parliamentary engagements, his recall to assume government in Bengal, and the administrative, military, and fiscal arrangements he effected, including treaties with native authorities and reforms in the civil service intended to stabilize Company rule.
