The East India Company: a history - New York Barnes & Noble books 1971 - 319 p.
There has never been an enterprise like the East India Company. It was a government owned by businessmen. It ruled over nearly one-fifth of the world's population; possessed its own army and navy, its own civil service, its own church, became the most powerful military force in Asia, and had a revenue greater than that of Britain.
