Definitive book on the history of the Taj Mahal, with a fair bit of context of the great Mughuls of Indian subcontinent. This is the my second reading of this wondrous tale of romance and intrigues of the mighty Mughuls starting from Babur till the last great Aurengzeb. The authors have done a great service by evaluating all angles of various historical questions like the relationship between Shah Jehan and Jehanara, the architect of Taj Mahal, about the possibility of a black Taj and many more. All in all the book makes a great reading for every Indian and Pakistani interested in the greatest building of the subcontinent.
