The Company Quartet: The Anarchy, White Mughals, Return of a King and The Last Mughal by William Dalrymple in Paperback

From the perspective of a renowned historian, this four-book collection by William Dalrymple delves into the captivating account of the rise and fall of the East India Company. While the British are often credited with conquering India, the truth reveals a much darker reality. Instead, it was an exponentially powerful private company, operating out of a mere five-windowed office in London, that initiated the seizure of India in the 1700s. With meticulous research and masterful storytelling, 'The Company Quartet' presents the astonishing tale of how the wealthy Mughal empire crumbled, giving way to the rise of the first global corporate power. This comprehensive paperback box set, elegantly encased in a slipcase, includes four individual books - The Anarchy, White Mughals, Return of a King, and The Last Mughal - spanning over two centuries of tumultuous colonial history, covert political tactics, and violent uprisings.
