Adventurers : the improbable rise of the East India Company, 1550-1650 / by David Howarth.
Adventurers :
"The East India Company was the largest commercial enterprise in British history, and set the template for what became the Raj. Yet its shaky origins are now all but forgotten. From the leaky ships and petty seafarers of its maiden voyages to Japan and India, David Howarth traces how ambitious merchants sought mew, high-risk ways of doing business-and for these 'adventurers', the most profitable bet of all would be on the Company."--Back cover.
