Présentation de l'éditeur
The Raj was, for two hundred years, the jewel in the British imperial crown. Although founded on military expansionism and undoubted exploitation, it developed over the centuries into what has been called 'benign autocracy' - the government of many by few, with the active collaboration of most Indians in recognition of a desire for the advancement of their country.
Charles Allen's classic oral history of the period that marked the end of British rule was first published a generation ago. Now reissued as the imperial century closes, this brilliantly insightful and bestselling collection of reminiscences illustrates the unique experience of British India: the sadness and luxury for some; the joy and deprivation for others.
Biographie de l'auteur
Charles Allen is an oral and military historian specialising in colonial matters. He is the author of several previous books and lives in north London.

Originalleinen. Etat : Sehr gut. 239 S. mit zahlr. Abb. Gutes Ex. - THE SHRINE OF THE BAB A-LOG -- THE TOMB OF HIS ANCESTORS -- POSH -- ALIENS UNDER ONE SKY LEARNING THE ROPES -- HOUSEHOLD -- THE ORDER OF PRECEDENCE -- THE LAND OF THE OPEN DOOR -- THE CLUB -- HAZARD AND SPORT -- THE HOT WEATHER -- THE HILLS -- THE COLD WEATHER -- THE MESS -- THE BARRACKS -- THE FRONTIER -- THE LAND OF REGRETS THE DAY'S WORK -- INDIANS -- "QUIT INDIA" -- TOPEES OVERBOARD. - There is still great curiosity about the phenomenon of British imperialism and the very distinctive ruling society that it gave rise to in India. As far as the British are concerned, this curiosity is well founded, since it is a still largely unrecognised fact that the Indian connection has direct or indirect links with just about every family in Britain. There are more than a million British graves in the Indian sub-continent, reaching back through three and a half centuries. Poke among the branches of any family tree - but particularly among the Scots and the Ulster Protestants - and you will find that Uncle Jack did five years hard with the Dorsets in Mhow and Secunderabad, that Great-Aunt Elfrida married a medical missionary from Chittagong or that granny's grandad was a Colonel in the Honourable East India Company's Bengal Army at the time of the Mutiny. Now that the Raj is firmly established as part of our Indo-British heritage it can be savoured as such. As to the charge of revisionism I can only reiterate what has been said before: that Plain Tales from the Raj is not a defence of colonialism in action but simply an evocation, a mosaic put together entirely and only from the evidence of some of those who were there.
