Arrogance Creeps Into Too Many Entries
11 Mar 2005
Format:Hardcover
While this highly detailed volume is valuable for its scope--some 5,000 entries--I found that the arrogance of the author crept into so many entries that the book is more misleading than informative. Therefore, use this book as a spelling guide, and ignore Riddick's constant characterizations of major and minor players in British India. Pity Riddick coiuld not have just given us the information on these personalities without the tawdry editorializing.
stupendous!

Format:Hardcover
This was the most comprehensive collection on British India that I have encountered. Kudos to the author for his informative and insightful research. It is clear the amount of time and diligence that the author spent researching and putting this collection together. I recommend this book to anyone interested in India, worth every penny.
