<p>In the foreword to the first edition Geoffrey Moorhouse wrote:<br><br>''In a sense, the story of Calcutta is the story of India . . . It is the story of how and why Empire was created and what happened when Empire finished . . . The imperial residue of Calcutta, a generation after Empire ended, is both a monstrous and a marvellous city. Journalism and television have given us a rough idea of the monstrosities but none at all of the marvels. I can only hope to define the first more clearly and to persuade anyone interested that the second is to be found there too''. <br><br>Geoffrey Moorhouse succeeds triumphantly in his aims. First published in 1971 this title has stood the test of time. Remarkably it was the first full-length study of Calcutta, seat of the British Raj, since 1918.<br><br>''The book is organized out of a profound understanding of the true issues and is brilliantly executed.'' Paul Scott, <i>Guardian</i></p>
