Under orders from Robert Townsend Farquhar, governor of the new British island colony of Mauritius, seized from the French during the Napoleonic Wars, Hastie undertook a long, perilous overland journey to the highland court of Radama, the young and warlike ruler of the most powerful kingdom in Madagascar. A decade earlier, Britain had banned the slave trade in its colonies and the government in London was pressuring Farquhar to halt the smuggling of slaves to the plantations of Mauritius. Hastie, who had no diplomatic training, lived by his wits as he won Radama's confidence and persuade him to defy the nobles and clan chieftains who profited from the slave trade. From his side, the intelligent, charming yet ruthless Radama skillfully used the British envoy to help win the internal power struggle over political rivals. It was a deal with the devil: in return for banning the slave trade, the British trained Radama's army and supplied muskets and gunpowder, allowing him to expand his dominions, while turning a blind eye to the internal slave trade. As Britain and France continued to face off in the Indian Ocean, competing for trade and power, Hastie secured British influence in Madagascar. He became Radama's most trusted advisor, accompanying him on military campaigns and advocating for social reforms, until his untimely death in 1826.Mission to Madagascar is based on Hastie's unpublished journals, one of them recently discovered, and other primary sources, including letters and political and military dispatches. They offer the most comprehensive early 19th century account of Madagascar, its landscape, crops, industry, commerce, culture, and inhabitants, and weave a narrative of hazardous travel, byzantine court intrigue and colonial geopolitics. This is the first biography of a man whom Sir Mervyn Brown, a former UK ambassador and historian of Madagascar, described as "one of the most important and attractive figures in the history of Anglo-Malagasy relations.".

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Radama- the young, savvy ruler of the rising military power in Madagascar. Robert Townsend Farquhar- governor of the British island colony of Mauritius, whose plantation economy depends on slave labor. James Hastie- an enterprising East India Company sergeant, ready to take on a risky mission. In the aftermath of the Napoleonic Wars, as Britain and France face off in the southwest Indian Ocean, the destinies of these three characters intertwine. Will the British cut a deal to end the export of slaves from Madagascar, and if so at what cost? Will Radama, with Hastie by his side, win the internal power struggle against nobles and clan chieftains? Hastie' s previously unpublished journals offer the most comprehensive early 19th century account of Madagascar, its landscape, crops, industry, commerce, culture, and inhabitants, and weave a narrative of hazardous travel, byzantine court intrigue and colonial geopolitics. Sir Mervyn Brown, a former UK ambassador and historian of Madagascar, has described Hastie as " one of the most important and attractive figures in the history of Anglo-Malagasy relations." In 1817, James Hastie, an East India Company sergeant, embarked on a perilous mission to the court of Radama, the warlike ruler of the most powerful kingdom in Madagascar. This is the first biography of a man whom Sir Mervyn Brown described as "one of the most important figures in the history of Anglo-Malagasy relations."
