Warring fleets, secret treaties, and a subcontinent at the crossroads of empire: in seventeenth century India the European struggle for supremacy reshaped the world. Rivalry reshaped the Indian Ocean. History of India (Volume VII): The European Struggle for Indian Supremacy in the Seventeenth Century presents a gripping study of how Portuguese, Dutch, English and French ambitions collided with the great Mughal courts at the height of Mughal era South Asia. As a colonial India history book grounded in early modern history nonfiction, William Wilson Hunter traces the advance of European powers in India, the shifting alliances of princes and merchants, and the colonial rivalry in Asia that unfolded along the maritime trade routes India linked to Europe and beyond, creating a foundation for modern empire and global commerce. Written by one of the foremost imperial historians, this William Wilson Hunter book remains classic historical scholarship India relies on, valued by scholars and general readers. It serves as both an academic history reference and an India history study guide, blending insight with narrative to show how trade, faith and force intertwined in early modern South Asia. Hunter's clear organisation and breadth of perspective place this volume alongside the great syntheses, from national chronicles to the Cambridge History of India, indispensable to serious collections on empire and the Indian past. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure.
