| General note |
Abstract: "The first comprehensive and authoritative history of the Koh-i-Noor diamond, arguably the most celebrated jewel in the world ... Using original eyewitness accounts and chronicles never before translated into English, Dalrymple and Anand trace the true history of the diamond and disperse the myths and fantastic tales that have long surrounded this awe-inspiring jewel. The resulting history of south and central Asia tells a true tale of greed, conquest, murder, torture, colonialism, and appropriation that shaped a continent and the Koh-i-Noor itself."--Jacket. |
