  • Simla Capital of British India

    Very informative and readable account of an extraordinary place and time in both the history of the Raj and world history at large. My next Sherlock Holmes novel will be set in Simla and Hyderabad and 'Simla Summer Capital' is exactly what I needed to read for it.
