---------------------------------------------------Empires of the Monsoon:
A History of the Indian Ocean and Its Invaders
by Richard Seymour Hall
First published 1998
Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers
Format: Hardcover 575 pages
ISBN: 0006380832Until Vasco da Gama discovered the sea-route to the East in 1497-9
almost nothing was known in the West of the exotic cultures and
wealth of the Indian Ocean and its peoples.
It is this civilization and its destruction at the hands of the West that
Richard Hall recreates in this book.
Hall's history of the exploration and exploitation by Chinese and Arab
travellers, and by the Portuguese, Dutch and British alike is one of
brutality, betrayal and colonial ambition.---------------------------------------------------
