Huttenback's study of British relations with an independent Sindh from 1799 to 1843 provides valuable insight into the complexities of nineteenth-century British imperialism. Here is a thorough investigation of British activities in Sindh after 1799, the actual conquest, and subsequent repercussions. Huttenback presents the whole scope of British relations with Sindh during this critical period without sacrificing the pre-annexation issues to the circumstances surrounding Sir Charles Napier and the conquest.
