Written in an engaging and accessible style, this book explores issues relating to the construction of historical narratives. The book presents re-assessments of a number of emblematic people and events in India that appear within the narrative of British imperial power - the Black Hole of Calcutta, Governor-General Warren Hastings, Tipu Sultan of Mysore, Arthur Wellesley and the battle of Assaye, the Sikh Maharaja Ranjit Singh, William Sleeman and the \"Thugs,\" and the Indian Revolt of 1857-58. The book concludes with an examination of the life of Madan Mohan Malaviya, an ambiguous figure who has been difficult to place in conventional narratives of Indian nationalism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kate Brittlebank\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1876924616\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781876924614\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Monash Asia Institute\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/30\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 142\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.80w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2008 pg. 44","brand":"Kate Brittlebank","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48450035876095,"sku":"9781876924614","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_42865c02-ee74-40b7-9c8a-b949513a5e0d.jpg?v=1777265947","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/tall-tales-and-true-kate-brittlebank-9781876924614","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
