Nach dem großen Wirbelsturm ankert ein Geisterschiff mitten auf dem Rübenacker beim Dörfchen Fairfield - die Fairfielder, die seit Generationen fröhlich Seite an Seite mit den Geistern ihres Dorfes zusammenleben, reiben sich die Augen.

Charles, first marquis of Cornwallis (1738-1805), was a leading figure in late 18th-century Britain. His career spanned the American War of Independence, Irish Union, the French Revolutionary Wars, and the building of the Second British Empire in India - and he has long been associated with the unacceptable face of Britain's colonial past. In this vivid new biography, Richard Middleton shows that this portrait is far from accurate. Cornwallis emerges as a reformer who had deep empathy for those under his authority and was clear about his obligation to govern justly.
