India, 3rd Edition by Stanley Wolpert
The history of India is the engrossing story of an ancient civilization, reborn as a modern nation. More a continent than a single nation, India is home to over one-fifth of humanity, yet it remains a mystery to most non-Indians, barely appreciated and poorly understood. Stanley Wolpert's third edition of India provides a much-needed, concise overview of Indian history and culture. His new preface brings the book up to date, discussing the most recent national elections, the economic effects of the new globalization, and the consequences of joining the nuclear arms race.
Stanley Wolpert is the author of fourteen books, including A New History of India, now in its seventh edition (2003), and Gandhi's Passion: The Life and Legacy of Mahatma Gandhi (2002). He has taught the history of India and Pakistan at the University of California, Los Angeles, since 1958.
