Synopsis

Memoirs of the Revolution in Bengal, Anno Dom. 1757 is a historical account of the pivotal events surrounding the Battle of Plassey, which occurred in 1757 and marked a turning point in the history of British colonial rule in India. Written by an eyewitness or participant, this memoir offers a detailed narrative of the political and military landscape of Bengal during the period leading up to and following the battle. It highlights the roles played by key figures such as Robert Clive, the British East India Company, and the local rulers, including Siraj-ud-Daula, the Nawab of Bengal. The memoir provides insight into the complex relationships between the British forces and the Indian rulers, the strategic maneuvers leading to the British victory, and the aftermath of the battle, which ultimately led to the British domination of Bengal and the expansion of the East India Company’s influence across India. With a focus on the personal and political dynamics of the time, the book serves as both a military history and a study of the broader colonial struggle that defined the 18th century in South Asia.
