Description

Explore the high-stakes history of British India during the Napoleonic era. This study from the Worlds of the East India Company series examines how the serious threat posed by Napoleon was countered between 1807 and 1813. Following Napoleon's victories over Prussia and his strategic treaties with Russia and Persia, the French threat to British positions in India became a growing reality. This book provides a detailed account of the economic warfare and the impact of French privateers on British trade in the Indian Ocean. Based on extensive original research, the text details the actions of Lord Minto, a Cabinet-level politician who served as Governor-General of Bengal. It offers a deep look at the foreign policy decisions used to protect British interests during this period of global conflict.
