A dramatic, colorful, and significant story. The Indian subcontinent is explored in its entirety in Volume 11 of the New Fischer World History. The renowned British India specialist David Arnold presents, based on the latest research, a factual and vivid account of periods of prosperity and unrest, centuries-old traditions, and transformative movements in a continent repeatedly plagued by power and religious conflicts. The "New Fischer World History" is the first comprehensive universal history of the 21st century. Its rigorous concept sets standards, and the readability of its narratives meets the highest demands. The 21-volume series will, like its legendary predecessor, be a standard work for years to come: in schools, universities, continuing education, and for all knowledge-hungry readers.
