The Last Mughal: The Fall of a Dynasty: Delhi, 1857 (Vintage)
from Vintage
Price: $11.53

Customer Review:

I have read almost all of Dalrymple's books and have enjoyed his impeccable style of narrative. His descriptions take you for why you read his subjects: to walk into history with him following his zest for showing you what other historian will not. His "City of Djinns" (a portrait of Delhi) and... more info

City of Djinns: A Year in Delhi
from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $10.88

Customer Review:

The first thing that is incredibly interesting about this book is the way it is approached. To call it a travel book, I feel, is diminishing the many other aspects & experiences this book is about.
This book is kind of a diary of Dalrymple & wife's year in Delhi. And it is also a book... more info

The Essential Gandhi: An Anthology of His Writings on His Life, Work, and Ideas
from Vintage
Price: $11.16

Customer Review:

I have been researching Gandhi for a number of years, so I can claim some expertise in evaluating this book. Simply put, I am not sure why I didn't get to it earlier, as it is a superior collection of Gandhi's writings, blended in skillfully with some of Fischer's own writings about Gandhi. This... more info
