Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
Présentation de l'éditeur
Memoir is to rescue from oblivion the name of a soldier to whom the British Empire owes a great debt of gratitude. We have been so long accustomed to consider ourselves as the only European nation in I ndia, that it is apt to be forgotten how great was French predominance, in that country, in the middle of the eighteenth century. When Lawrence went to I ndia, with no higher commission than to command a small undisciplined garrison of two or three hundred men, our tenure in India hung by a thread.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the forgotten history of the British in 18th-century India, a period marked by intense rivalry with the French. The narrative focuses on the extraordinary career of a British military officer, whose name has largely faded from public memory, despite his pivotal role in establishing British dominance. The author meticulously reconstructs the officer's journey, from his early days as a soldier in Europe to his leadership of the East India Company's forces in India. Readers will be immersed in the complexities of Indian warfare, where small, often ill-equipped British contingents faced formidable French armies and powerful native rulers. The book vividly portrays the officer's strategic brilliance, his unwavering resolve in the face of adversity, and his ability to inspire and unite his troops. Beyond military tactics, the book explores the intricate political landscape of 18th-century India, where alliances shifted, betrayals were commonplace, and European powers competed for influence. The officer's astute understanding of Indian politics and his commitment to ethical conduct set him apart from his contemporaries. Ultimately, this book sheds light on a crucial period in British-Indian history, revealing how one man's courage, leadership, and strategic acumen played a decisive role in shaping the destiny of a nation. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
