More about the book
From the dust Epics of history are rare and The Peacock Throne is one of them. No royal lineage offers such a spectacle of high drama as the fabulous Mogul Dynasty of India, which created the world's most famous monument, the Taj Mahal. Not since Greek tragedy has there been such a stark revelation of the excesses of human incest, fratricide, sons revolting continuously against fathers, and the madness of uncontrolled aggression.
