520 _aThe Anarchy by William Dalrymple is a historical account of the East India Company's rise to power in India, and the devastating consequences of its profit-driven actions for the Indian subcontinent. The Anarchy tells the remarkable story of how one of the world's most magnificent empires disintegrated and came to be replaced by a dangerously unregulated private company, based thousands of miles overseas in one small office, five windows wide, and answerable only to its distant shareholders. In his most ambitious and riveting book to date, William Dalrymple tells the story of the East India Company as it has never been told before, unfolding a timely cautionary tale of the first global corporate power.
