This is a really interesting exploration of India and the relationship between the East India Company and the Indian people. Masters knows the country intimately well. While he wrote this book many years ago, it speaks to many details concerning the emotional and cultural complexity of foreign occupation, made relevant to America's occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan.

Like other John Masters book, an extraordinary adventure period novel. This one is a classic must read. I have just gone through three of his books like a prairie fire. He draws painstaking portraits of personalities and characters who are firmly placed in their time period, but gives a clear eyed view into their motivations and life experiences.

Great stuff. I came to meet Masters when he lived in Santa Fe; read everything of his I could lay my hands on.
