Empires of the Indus
The Story of a River
One of the longest rivers in the world, the Indus rises in Tibet, flows west across India, and south through Pakistan. For millennia it has been worshipped as a god; for centuries used as a tool of imperial expansion. Today it is the glue of Pakistan's fractious union.
Empires of the Indus follows the river upstream and back in time, on a voyage through two thousand miles of geography and five millennia of history, through a landscape where the past still resonates today.
"a portrait of the river that is both beautiful and provocative" The Sunday Times
"an impressive and original first book"
Daily Telegraph
"The truly great achievement of this wonderful book is to reveal, unflinchingly and with panache, the rich and varied heritage of the Indus in all its appalling splendour"
The Guardian
"Empires of the Indus is a magnificent book, a triumphant melding of travel and history into a compelling story of adventure and discovery." The Financial Times
"she charms, terrifies, entertains and finally enlightens"
Time Out Delhi
