The Last Mughal by acclaimed historian William Dalrymple tells the dramatic story of the final chapter of the Mughal Empire. Set in Delhi during the uprising of 1857, the book brings to life the world of Bahadur Shah Zafar — poet, emperor, and the last symbol of a fading dynasty.
Dalrymple uses extensive archival research to uncover forgotten narratives, eyewitness accounts, letters, and documents that reveal how the revolt unfolded inside the Red Fort, how Delhi became a battleground, and how the emperor’s fate changed forever.
This book is not just history — it is a vivid portrait of a city, a cultural world, and a dynasty on the brink of collapse. Perfect for readers who enjoy Indian history, Mughal literature, political history, and award-winning narrative non-fiction.
