  Tracing the beginnings of the British colonial enterprise in South Asia and the Middle East, this title brings together key texts from the era of the privately owned British East India Company through the crises that led to the Company's takeover by the Crown in 1858. It ends with the momentous opening of the Suez Canal in 1869.
