Hardcover. Condition: New. This book examines two key topics hitherto ignored by historians—the self-image of the British I.C.S. and the contribution of British officers to Imperial policies. The human motivations of those involved at all levels of decision-making receive attention, especially Lieutenant-Governors, Members of Council, and Secretaries of various departments. Careful analysis of public and private papers shows that these motivations often were mundane, self-serving and career-oriented. Human factors, not over-arching principles, helped shape British action in India. The historical image of the I.C.S. contrasts sharply with idealized and romantic views of the 'steel frame' perpetuated both by laymen and historians. Concern with status among I.C.S. officers decisively impended adminis­trative and political reforms. Officials championed the status quo not so much because of ideology but because of the brittle relationship between themselves and various Indian classes. Moreover, aristocratic leaders in England expres­sed grave doubts about the ability of the I.C.S. to cope effectively with political change and crisis in India, thus adding to the unease and indecisiveness among British officialdom. These stresses ultimately produced distortions within the bureaucracy and provided a little understood backdrop for the hostile confron­tation between imperialism and nationalism after 1885. Spangenberg's insights into the actual operation of government makes the study a benchmark in reassessing the nature of colonial rule in India. It belongs to the library of every individual and institution interested in the making of modern South Asia.…
