Thuggee: Banditry and the British in Early Nineteenth-Century India - Cambridge Imperial and Post-Colonial Studies 1st ed. 2007 edition
K. Wagner
Based largely on new material, this book examines thuggee as a type of banditry, emerging in a specific socio-economic and geographic context. The British usually described the thugs as fanatic assassins and Kali-worshippers, yet Wagner argues that the history of thuggee need no longer be limited to the study of its representation.
