About This Item
Cary, North Carolina, U.S.A.: Oxford Univ Press, 2000. Book. Very Good. Soft cover. Sixth Edition. Slight cover wear. Previous owner's name and dog-eared pg corner on half-title pg. Spine is tight; pgs are unmarked. After more than 20 years in print, A New History of India continues to be the most readable and popular one-volume history of India available. Wolpert has managed to condense over 4,000 years of continuity and development into a graceful and engaging 544 pages of text. The book discusses modern India's rapidly growing population and even more rapidly expanding industry and economy withing the context of the country's past, as well as considering the prospects for India's future. Throughout, Wolpert strives to record history fairly and truthfully, portraying with clarity and intensity both the brightest achievements of Indian civilization, and the darkest depths of its persistent socio-secual inequities, and economic and political corruption..
