Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the geographical, cultural, and governmental challenges of ruling in India during the 18th and 19th centuries. The author argues that the policies implemented by Lord Wellesley were insightful and effective in allowing Britain to maintain control of India during that time period. Wellesley understood the importance of collaboration with tributary leaders to promote stability and prevent confederation of rival interests. The book presents a forceful argument against the author's critics, who viewed Wellesley's foreign policy as overly harsh. The author points to Wellesley's prescience regarding the motivations of rival powers such as the French, and the necessity of maintaining a strong military presence to ensure the security of British holdings. The author's use of official correspondence and historical accounts presents a convincing case, not only for Wellesley's effectiveness, but also his unique prescience and understanding of global realpolitik.
