One of the very few regrets I have in regard to this volume is that it was too short, and particularly in respect to the Mughal period too brief. But on the other hand, for a volume that set out to cover over four hundred years of history in a couple of hundred pages it has succeeded remarkably well in balancing out elements of the story without sacrificing quality or that fine grained attention to the facts. Spears hints at patterns and parallels that connect the Mughal period, the Raj and modern India are intriguing. And though they might be contentious, they give his work the quality of an argument that invites the reader to participate by thinking about what is written and impel them to go and read and learn more. Which is not a bad achievement for such a compact little history. Highly recommended. ( )
