Clive came across superior numbers always, but I wondered what made him successful in battles? The Author didn't give much details on it, but I enjoyed accounts of his life.

"Clive of India was one of the most extraordinary and colorful figures Britain ever produced. The founder of Britain's Indian empire, he was also Britain's first great guerrilla fighter by the age of twenty-seven, conqueror of Bengal at thirty-one, and avenging angel of righteousness against the greed of his fellow countrymen at forty-one. In his later life, Parliament brought him under painful scrutiny, and he ended up one of the most hated men in Britain. He died violently under still-mysterious circumstances just before his fifieth birthday." "Clive today lies buried in an unknown grave in an obscure corner of rural Shropshire, a reflection of the controversy he aroused in his lifetime and that still surrounds his legacy and the manner of his death. In this study, Robert Harvey illuminates Clive's life's journey from the green fields surrounding Market Drayton through his adventures in India, his drive to success and self-destruction, to his vicious and premature death by suicide or murder."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
