Subtitled, "Love and Betrayal in Eighteenth Century India". Pages xlviii, 459. The superlative British travel writer, Wm Dalrymple turns his talents to the Raj in India, under the East India Co. Thoroughly researched and beautifully written. This copy is fine, and is not a book club copy, as some on the internet are. The color illustrations are unique to the British edition. Prior owner gift inscription inside the endpaper, protected in a clear, mylar sleeve over the fine dustjacket.
