The Scandal of Empire
India and the Creation of Imperial Britain
When Warren Hastings was put on trial by Edmund Burke, it brought the East India Company's exploits to public attention. Presenting the scandal that laid the foundation of the British Empire, this work explains how the substitution of imperial authority for Company rule helped erase the origins of empire and justify the British presence in India.
