Linking four continents over three centuries, Selling Empire demonstrates the centrality of India to the making of a global British imperial system. Eacott recasts the British empire's chronology and geography by situating the development of consumer culture, the American Revolution, and British industrialization in the commercial intersections linking the Atlantic and Indian Oceans.
