Based largely on new material, this book examines thuggee as a type of banditry, emerging in a specific socio-economic and geographic context. The British usually described the thugs as fanatic assassins and Kali-worshippers, yet Wagner argues that the history of thuggee need no longer be limited to the study of its representation.

It is very far removed from the versions of the practice written by other authors, as well as by colonials like Sleeman, who was responsible for the eradication of Thuggee.
It definitely is well researched and is eminently readable.
For those who want to read about, and learn about the Thugs of India, this book must be on your list. (
