Book Reviews of India: Fourth Edition

Book Review: It takes a true expert to write a short book about India
Summary: 4 Stars

A very good, comprehensive yet short (less than 240 pages) and readable overview to all the major topics: geography, history, philosophy and religion, society, arts and sciences, and policy. Worth reading to get started on this immense and diverse country.

Summary of India: Fourth Edition

This new edition brings Stanley Wolpert's brilliantly succinct and accessible introduction to India completely up to date for a new generation of readers, travelers, and students. In crisp detail, Wolpert gives a panoramic overview of the continent on which the world's most fascinating ancient civilization gave birth to one of its most complex modern democratic nations. India now includes new sections on the country's current global economic development, the recent national elections, and on its international relations, including those with Pakistan, China, Sri Lanka, and the United States, India's new strategic global partner.
