The Cambridge History of India Volume 5: British India, 1497-1858 (1858) is a comprehensive historical account of the British presence in India from the arrival of Vasco da Gama in 1497 to the end of the East India Company's rule in 1858.

The book covers the major events and developments that shaped British India, including the establishment of British trading posts, the rise and fall of the Mughal Empire, the British conquest of Bengal, the spread of British influence throughout India, and the Indian Rebellion of 1857. Dodwell provides a detailed analysis of the political, economic, social, and cultural impact of British rule on India, and examines the complex interactions between the British and Indian societies. He also explores the various resistance movements and uprisings that emerged in response to British rule, and the ways in which Indian society adapted to the changing political and economic landscape.
