With Clive in India

by G. A. Henty

Set against the backdrop of the 18th century Anglo-French rivalry in India, With Clive in India chronicles the rise of the British East India Company's influence in the subcontinent. It follows the campaigns led by the illustrious British general, Robert Clive, who strategically outmaneuvered his French and Indian adversaries, culminating in the decisive Battle of Plassey in 1757. This pivotal victory established British supremacy in Bengal and laid the foundation for the eventual expansion of their empire across India.
