520    "When Thomas Roe arrived in India in 1616 as James I's 
       first ambassador to the Mughal Empire, the English barely 
       had a toehold in the subcontinent. Their understanding of 
       South Asian trade and India was sketchy at best, and, to 
       the Mughals, they were minor players on a very large 
       stage. Roe represented a kingdom that was beset by 
       financial woes and deeply conflicted about its identity as
       a unified 'Great Britain' under the Stuart monarchy. 
       Meanwhile, the court he entered in India was wealthy and 
       cultured, its dominion widely considered to be one of the 
       greatest and richest empires of the world.  In this 
       fascinating history of Roe's four years in India, Nandini 
       Das offers an insider's view of Britain in the making, a 
       country whose imperial seeds were just being sown. It is a
       story of palace intrigue, scandal, lotteries, and wagers 
       that unfold as global trade begins to stretch from Russia 
       to Virginia, from West Africa to the Spice Islands of 
       Indonesia."--|cProvided by publisher.
