About the Author
Description
There comes a time in a man’s life when he may well stand back and consider what he has built, planted, written or begotten and whether it was worth doing. If in such a mood the English—and by that I mean all those who speak English: Chaucer and Drake, Milton and Marlborough, Clive and Hastings, belong to us all—if the English look back on their varied history, the long connection with India will be an achievement that cannot be ignored. It is too soon to say if it will last. But though the political structure may change to something unrecognizable, it is hard to believe that the impress of English ways, of thinking will vanish altogether. And the achievement itself, whatever the future holds, is surely a matter for pride.
There are many ways of looking at it.

The Men Who Ruled India
The man who ruled India is a masterly distillation of Philip Mason’s two classics, The Founders and The Guardians which were written soon after British withdrawal from the sub continent, when the sight and sound and smells of an area the size of Europe were still fresh in memory.
