A manifest triumph Literary Review
From the reviews of India: A History
It is hard to imagine anyone succeeding more gracefully in producing a balanced overview than John Keay has done in India ... a book that is as fluent and readable as it is up-to-date and impartial. Hardly a page passes without some fascinating nugget or surprising fact William Dalrymple, Guardian
Certainly the most balanced and lucid history... his passion for India shines through and illuminates every page... puts Keay in the front rank of Indian historiographers. Charles Allen, Spectator
Keay s astute commentary on the development of Indian history is a delight... one of the best general studies of the subcontinent. Andrew Lycett, Sunday Times
--Andrew Lycett, Sunday TimesJohn Keay was formerly a special correspondent for the Economist, and a documentary-maker for the BBC. He is the author of several books on the Indian subcontinent, including the bestselling India: A History . He lives in Argyll, Scotland.
