ravik 's review for:
Empires of the Indus: The Story of a River
by Alice Albinia
Alice's book on the Indus is a delightful read. A history book inside a travelogue wrapped in a personal diary styled writing. This book's strength is how it covers the history of the Indus from so many perspectives - empires, tribes, religions and common folk like fishermen, soldiers and the like.
A must read for anyone interested in the history of the subcontinent and what forces shaped it.
