The last nizam is the story of an extraordinary dynasty, the Nizams of Hyderabad and how the heir to India’s richest princely state gave up a kingdom and retired to the dusty Paddocks of outback Australia. With vivid detail and anecdotes, John Zubrzycki charts the rise of the Nizams to fabulous wealth and prominence in the detritus of the Mughal empire, giving a rich and vibrant portrait of a realm soaked in blood and intrigue. Above all he describes the strange and sometimes tragic life of Muharram Jah, his exalted Highness, the last nizam, the man who left behind the diamonds of Golconda and the palaces of Hyderabad to drive bulldozers in the Australian Bush. Meticulously researched, the last nizam adds a crucial Chapter to the history of India, capturing the conspiracies and machinations that kept the Nizams in the News while simultaneously deepening their legend.
