> My name is not important. What is important is what I'm going to do... I just fuckin' hate this world. And the human worms feasting on its carcass. My whole life is just cold, bitter hatred. And I always wanted to die violently. This is the time of vengeance and no life is worth saving. And I will put in the grave as many as I can. It's time for me to kill. And it's time for me to die. My genocide crusade begins here.

Havent read this book, but I focused somewhat on Trading companies in my studies in University. I read two articles Dalrymple published on the Guardian, and one seemed like Guardian tier smear campaign full of double standards and half truths and copious unnuanced comparisons to today that turned me off from his stuff:
>https://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/mar/04/east-india-company-original-corporate-raiders
and the other was more nuanced, but still slightly noble savage-y, but did make a better comparison with the modern day.
>https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2007/may/10/comment.india

Maybe their is a reason it reads like a novel.
