Through his recollections of journeys, robberies and ritualised killings across India, the book combines adventure and crime narrative with colonial-era ideas about organised banditry. It became highly influential in shaping Western perceptions of the Thugs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Folio Vault","offers":[{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":55216410165587,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Good","offer_id":55421113991507,"sku":null,"price":3.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/thefoliovault.com\/products\/confessions-of-a-thug-folio-society-378","provider":"Folio Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
