The Burke-Sulivan Vendetta: And Veiled Ramifications

By George K. McGilvary

There has always been uncertainty, and even embarrassment, regarding Edmund Burke's merciless attack on Warren Hastings by means of Impeachment, which lasted for year upon weary year. What lay behind the savagery?The answer or at least part of it is to be found here in the bitter feud that developed between Burke and the able and powerful Chairman of the East India Company, Laurence Sulivan. The content provides enticing reading for the general reader and essential material for historians and students of history everywhere - especially those interested in British, Irish, Indian and economic history in the second-half of the eighteenth century. The lessons for today that the book incorporates are especially good for tracking modern levers of power and how they are handled. The text should also help vanquish hagiography.
