The Last Nizam by John Zubrzycki

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges.

In early 1972, His Exalted Highness, the Rustam of the Age, the Aristotle of the Times, Wal Mamaluk, Asaf Jah VIII, the Conqueror of Dominions, the Regulator of the Realm, Nawab Mir Barakat Ali Khan Bahadur, The Victor in Battles, the Leader of Armies, the Nizam of Hyderabad and Berar, arrived in Western Australia and bought himself an outback station. So began one of the most incongruous episodes in the history of India's richest princely dynasty.

The Last Nizam is the story of the Nizams of Hyderabad and how the last Nizam gave up a kingdom to come to the backblocks of outback Australia. (back cover)
