About this book
William Dalrymple’s “The Anarchy: The Relentless Rise of the East India Company” is a historical narrative that explores the dramatic ascent of the East India Company. Published in 2019, the book delves into the period of the late 18th century when the Mughal Empire was declining and regional powers were emerging. It chronicles how the East India Company, initially a trading entity established in 1599, evolved into a formidable colonial force that effectively governed India by 1803. Dalrymple employs new sources to narrate this tale, offering insights into the catastrophic consequences of unchecked corporate authority. The book has been lauded for its compelling narrative and rigorous historical research.
