5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliantly written, 30 May 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: A New History of India (Paperback)

A New History of India is an indispensable book for those who want to gain a thorough understanding of Indian history. As an A-Level Indian History Student, I find it useful particularly its description of modern Indian History. It also contains insightful opinions over each contentious issues, especially the profound impact of 2 world wars and the repercussion of partition, which inspire me a lot.

For those who would like to obtain lucid description of India, India: A History by John Keay is also an highly recommended book.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good introduction to the history of India, 15 Feb 2009

By	Saba Risaluddin (Sarajevo) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: A New History of India (Paperback)

Stanley Wolpert's New History of India is thoroughly researched and impartial - an essential introduction both to India and to his other more specialist books on the subcontinent and its great figures and moments in history. If I have a criticism, it is only that his style is a touch pedestrian, but the book is readable for all that.
