To Stand Against The Company: A Study Of The British Honourable East India Company And Piracy In The Indian Ocean World, Circa 1680-1760, John Ridge
Murray State Theses and Dissertations
This study attempts to explore the multi-faceted challenges and hindrances brought upon the British East India Company by piracy in the Indian Ocean World. European and American pirates in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries influenced economic, political, and social factors in the Indian Ocean.

With their own built up strength, Royal navy support, local Mahratta allies, and internal-conflict within the Angres, the British East India …

Cry Havoc: The Rise And Collapse Of America's Contractors In Iraq, Samuel Brown
Murray State Theses and Dissertations

Choices made by Vice President Dick Cheney, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, and CPA leader Paul Bremer all added to the chaos and the shortage of manpower that would see these companies fill in the gaps in American planning. This work …
