520    In 1841, twenty-year-old Nigel Halleck set out for 
       Calcutta as a clerk in the East India Company. He went on 
       to serve in the colonial administration for eight years 
       before abruptly leaving the company under a cloud and 
       disappearing in the mountain kingdom of Nepal, never to be
       heard from again. While most traces of his life were 
       destroyed in the bombing of his hometown during World War 
       II, Nigel was never quite forgotten—the myth of the man 
       who headed East would reverberate through generations of 
       his family.  Kief Hillsbery, Nigel’s nephew many times 
       removed, embarked on his own expedition, spending decades 
       researching and traveling through India, Pakistan, 
       Afghanistan, and Nepal in the footsteps of his long-lost 
       relation. In uncovering the remarkable story of Nigel’s 
       life, Hillsbery beautifully renders a moment in time when 
       the arms of the British Empire extended around the world. 
       Both a powerful history and a personal journey, Empire 
       Made weaves together a clash of civilizations, the quest 
       to discover one’s own identity, and the moving tale of one
       man against an empire.
