- Double-weighted statement
- A substantial single-authored monograph of 403 pages, based on original archival research from Europe and the United States over a six year period, many of which sources have not been previously utilised. The book provides an in-depth analysis of Britain's presence and expansion in Asia over one-hundred and fifty years, not only providing an entirely new interpretation for the origin of European empire in Asia, but also pioneering new methodological and historiographical interventions that challenge previous Eurocentric research on the subject. These include integrating Western and Asian historiographies of empire-formation for the first time, and reconceptualising European 'expansion'.
