From multi-award-winning and bestselling historian William Dalrymple, a four-book collection chronicling the extraordinary story of the rise and fall of the East India Company.We still talk about the British conquering India, but that phrase disguises a much more sinister reality. For it was not the British government that began seizing chunks of India in the mid-eighteenth century, but a dangerously unregulated private company headquartered in one small office, five windows wide, in the city of London. Bringing together two decades of meticulous research and masterful narration, 'The Company Quartet' tells the remarkable story of how the Mughal empire, which then generated just under half the world's wealth, disintegrated and came to be replaced by the first global corporate power: the East India Company. William Dalrymple's epic, bestselling and multi-award-winning histories are now available in this magnificent paperback box set, presented in a stylish slipcase. Comprised of four individual books – The Anarchy, White Mughals, Return of a King and The Last Mughal – this essential collection spans over two hundred years of tumultuous colonial history, covert political machinations and bloody resistance.PRIZES & AWARDS: Winner of the Wolfson Prize for History Winner of the Duff Cooper Memorial PrizeWinner of the Hemingway PrizeWinner of the Ryzard Kapuscinski PrizeWinner of the Vodafone/Crossword Book awardWinner of the Scottish Book of the Year PrizeWinner of the Arthur Ross Medal of the Council on Foreign Relations.Three times longlisted and once shortlisted for the Baillie GiffordWinner of the Sykes Medal of the Royal Asiatic Society Winner of the President's Medal of the British AcademyFinalist for the Cundil Prize for History
