About This Item
Michael Joseph, London 1985 Hardcover with dust jacket Ours is an ex-library copy in transparent protective covering, with stamps, stickers and barcode. GOOD book in GOOD unclipped dust jacket Born in a modest village, elevated by adoption at the age of eleven to the position of a medieval monarch, the young Maharaja of Jaipur enjoyed a life of absolute privilege in a near feudal state. Yet his rule coincided with the years that changed India into a modern democracy. The same man also presided, long before Independence required it, over the dismantling of his own position as Maharaja, and the passage of power from his hands to those of his people.
