LibraryThing Review
Recensione dell'utente - benjaminsiegel - LibraryThingThe book is poorly billed as an introductory text, but is a superlative review of early Indian history and historiography. Wish Islam got a bit more billing in the later sections, and the organization is sometimes confusing, but a very good advanced primer, if that's a thing. Leggi recensione completa
