Sinopse
Características

It was a time when one of the most powerful rulers in the world wasnt a government-it was a corporation. Its official name was The Company of Merchants of London Trading into the East Indies. Some simply called it John Company, others Company Bahadur. But most people knew it as the Honourable East India Company. It was the first major shareholder-owned business enterprise. At its height it ruled more than a fifth of the worlds population, and generated a revenue greater than the rest of Britain combined-including the government. To hold all this together it had its own private army and navy consisting of over a quarter million men. But at its heart, it was still a company of merchants and it was her merchant ships that made everything else possible. This is E. Keble Chattertons authoritative account of those ships and the men who helped forge the history of two continents.
