The Military in British India: The Development of British Land Forces in South Asia, 1600-1947 (Manchester History of the British Army) - Hardcover
Synopsis
A study of the conflicts which established British rule in South Asia, and of the military's position in the constitution of British India. It outlines the course and the causes of the campaigns which the British in India fought against their European and South Asian rivals for the succession to the Mughal Empire. It also shows how, at times, there was conflict amongst the British themselves - between the British governments in London and India; between civil governors and their military commanders; and between officers and men. The Great Mutiny of 1857 brought about a new army and constitution. Although there were no more wars in British India, controversy continued over the army's composition, organization and political control. The book ends with an analysis of the problems of recruiting and training the all-important officer corps, with the admission of Indians a crucial issue.

Review
A book that should be read by anyone with an interest in military history - and the history of the British Army in particular. A valuable insight into how Britain came to add India to the Empire and gain its brightest jewel in the imperial crown. It will also appeal to anybody with a love of the sub continent. [the author] skilfully examines the rise of the East India Company. A fascinating account. This is an authoritative and well-researched account that provides the reader with a greater understanding not only of the history of the British Indian Army, but also of the impact that the Indian experience had on the entire British Army.
