With Clive in India
G. A. Henty
Book Overview:
With Clive in India gives a vivid picture of the wonderful events of the ten years, which at their commencement saw Madras in the hands of the French--Calcutta at the mercy of the Nabob of Bengal--and English influence apparently at the point of extinction in India--and which ended in the final triumph of the English, both in Bengal and Madras. There were yet great battles to be fought, great efforts to be made, before the vast Empire of India fell altogether into British hands; but these were but the sequel of the events described.

A quarter of an hour later, Charlie and Peters joined Captain Clive in the camp.
"Ah!" he said, "My young friends, I'm glad to see you. There is plenty for you to do, at once. We shall march tomorrow, and all preparations have to be made. You will both have the rank of ensign, while you serve with me. I have only six other officers, two of whom are civilians who, like yourselves, volunteered at Saint David's. They are of four or five year's standing and, as they speak the language, they will serve with the Sepoys under one of my military officers. Another officer, who is also an ensign, will take the command of the three guns. The Europeans are divid. . . Read More

This is my first G. A. Henty novel; and having now finished it, I’m left with fairly mixed feelings.
The book follows real historical events, centring around the battles, sieges and military campaigns of Robert Clive in mid 18th century India, at a time when the British, Dutch, and French, East Indi
Engaging historical fiction based on the adventures of central characters Charlie Marryat & his sidekicks Peters, Tim & Hossein, inserted into Clive's campaigns in India. At times the extreme details of so many battles, though adding to the air of authenticity, were a bit tedious
A wonderful tale of adventure during the age of British expansion into India, with daring and romance surrounding the real-life career of Clive, of India.
