Description
Three Frenchmen in Bengal by S. C. Hill explores the experiences and historical roles of French adventurers in 18th-century Bengal—namely Law, Lally, and Bussy. Hill, a British historian and civil servant, presents a detailed account based on archival sources and correspondence, shedding light on the French East India Company’s rivalry with the British. The book offers insights into colonial diplomacy, military engagements, and the ambitions of European powers in India during a critical phase of imperial contestation in the subcontinent.
