Book excerpt: I have not attempted in this story to give a full account of the career of Lord Clive. That has been done by my old friend, Mr. Henty, in "With Clive in India." It has always seemed to me that a single book provides too narrow a canvas for the display of a life so full and varied as Clive's, and that a work of fiction is bound to suffer, structurally and in detail, from the compression of the events of a lifetime within so restricted a space. I have therefore chosen two outstanding events in the history of India--the capture of Gheria and the battle of Plassey--and have made them the pivot of a personal story of adventure. The whole action of the present work is comprised in the years from 1754 to 1757.

The whole action of the present work is comprised in the years from 1754 to1757.But while this book is thus rather a romance with a background of history than anhistorical biography with an admixture of fiction, the reader may be assured that theinformation its pages contain is accurate. I have drawn freely upon the standardauthorities: Orme, Ives, Grose, the lives of Clive by Malcolm and Colonel Malleson, andmany other works; in particular the monumental volumes by Mr. S.C. Hill recentlypublished, "Bengal in 1756-7," which give a very full, careful and clear account of thatnotable year, with a mass of most useful and interesting documents. The maps ofBengal, Fort William and Plassey are taken from Mr. Hill's work by kind permission ofthe Secretary of State for India. I have to thank also Mr. T. P. Marshall, of Newport, forsome valuable notes on the history and topography of Market Drayton.For several years I myself lived within a stone's throw of the scene of the tragedy of theBlack Hole; and though at that time I had no intention of writing a story for boys, I hopethat the impressions of Indian life, character and scenery then gained have helped tocreate an atmosphere and to give reality to my picture. History is more than a mererecord of events; and I shall be satisfied if the reader gets from these pages an idea, however imperfect, of the conditions of life under which all empire builders labored inIndia a hundred and fifty years ago.

Download or read book Clive written by Robert Harvey and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2014-08-19 with total page 523 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The real-life story of Robert Clive would be judged as wildly implausible if it came from the pen of a novelist. 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 own 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 fiftieth birthday. The story of Clive can be viewed on several levels: as a spirited military adventure by a man who defied death many times, who withstood the greatest siege in British military history, and conspired to force one of the most absolute and cruellest monarchs on earth off his throne; as the morality tale of a penniless young man who became the sole ruler of a huge empire, ended up as one of the richest men in Britain and was then brought to account and driven to despair; or as the story of a plundering early poacher-turned-gamekeeper who sought to establish a moral and legal order amidst slaughter and greed. 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 lively and revealing 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.
