Storm and conquest : the battle for the Indian Ocean, 1809. London: Faber, 2007

Sailing ships, shipwrecks, scandal, politics, war, monsoon mayhem, mutiny both at sea and in the army, and more. All meticulously researched and fascinatingly retold in this account of a devastating year in the history of the East India Company. The American edition of this book is called Storm and conquest : the clash of empires in the eastern seas, 1809. A full review by Lawrie Butler will be in a forthcoming FIBIS Journal.
