Beschrijving
A comprehensive and fully illustrated history of the early trade between Europe and the East Indies
A fascinating and little known story about how a corporation and a seafaring technology allowed Great Britain to take control of the India subcontinent and dominate trade with China for more than a century. It traces the parallel rise of the East India Company and development of a kind of ship, the "East Indiaman," capable of maintaining a fabulously lucrative trade over thousands of miles in an age before radio, radar, or electronic direction finding. It also shows how, even as the ships were reaching the pinnacle of their development, the trade that created them was undermined by market forces and corruption in the management of the East India Company.
The book is an easy read and lavishly illustrated. It is very suitable for young adult readers.
