Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good+. First Edition. Jaipur: The Last Destination brings alive nine centuries, pulling history out of the realm of text books and making it a wondrous narrative of war and bravery; migration and settlement; loyalty, deceit and murder; of medieval connoisseurship of the architecture and the arts; of splendor, opulence and extravagance. In this visual survey of the city of Jaipur, Aman Nath traces the origins of the city and its development under the Rajputs of Rajasthan.
