A rather partisan history (and autobiography) of British forays in Sindh. It is also an artefact of its time, giving a view into the vigorous debate raging in Britain of the 1840s, on the ethics of British dealings in Sindh. Eastwick verges on the polemical against the East India Company and eulogizes the Amir of Khairpur, but the contours of a more plausible story are discernible under his emotional account. The books is also full of fascinating observations about Sindh and also has some very amusing remarks.
