Description:
The Anarchy tells the gripping and remarkable story of how one of the world's most magnificent empires disintegrated, paving the way for a dangerously unregulated private company to take its place. This company, based thousands of miles away overseas, operated out of a small office only five windows wide and answered solely to its distant shareholders.

In his most ambitious work to date, renowned historian William Dalrymple presents the story of the East India Company as it has never been told before. He unfolds a timely and cautionary tale of how this first global corporate power fundamentally changed the course of history, from the disintegration of the Mughal Empire to the establishment of British rule in India.

Dalrymple’s narrative reveals the violent and dramatic transformation that led to the creation of a corporate empire, detailing the politics, battles, and ruthless ambition that ultimately allowed a private company to control an entire subcontinent. It’s a compelling account of the profound impact of corporate power on the history of India and the world.
