Exceptional study of the region
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
I'm very impressed with this book which looks at the history of the whole region rather than looking at India in isolation. I'll be using it as required text in my class this year as I think it's possibly the best one volume history book currently available that meets the needs of students.
