He returned to England from the U.S. in 1782, and in 1786 went to India as governor-general. He fought Tipos successfully and then left India in 1793. He fought the French in Ireland in 1798. He was sent back to India and died there 5 Oct 1805, and is buried there. Some of this book was interesting and I am glad I read it. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
This is the second and final volume of the Wickwires' definitive biography of Cornwallis. It details Corwallis's work in India, his contributions in Britain as master general of ordnance, his tenure as lord lieutenant and commander in chief in Ireland, and his diplomacy in negotiating the peace of Amiens. Through Cornwallis's career, the authors show how the British made important decisions that affected the empire for the century to follow. Originally published in 1980.
