Heart Like a Fakir: General Sir James Abbott and the Fall of the East India Company

by Chris Mason

This book explores the last years of the British East India Company using the life of General Sir James Abbott--explorer, guerilla, district officer, and possible inspiration for Mr. Kurtz in Heart of Darkness--as a thread to reexamine the social and sexual relationships between Britons and Indians and chronicle the collapse of their social contract.
