I was entirely absorbed by this and wish I'd read it sooner. Non-fiction can so quickly become dense and bogged down, but Dalrymple's prose for the first half was absolutely riveting. Anand too is an excellent writer, although I must say I preferred Dalrymple's style.
Overall, this was a really fantastic read and one I'll be recommending to everyone, whether they're history buffs or not.
