Title: take my advice, pls don't waste your money, time or thoughts
Review: I would not give single star to this book, but thats the lowest rate you can give. Completely inaccurate history of King Shivaji and his Legacy is written in this book. If your read archives of News papers in Maharashtra, India during the time period Lane was there to do incomplete and false "research" on this topic, you will understand how shallow his work was and how many anti-maratha Brahmins mis-leaded Lane about Life of King Shivaji.If you are interested in Unbiased life story of King Shivaji, please read "Shivaji the Great by V.D. Katamble". Or more simple, just read article about him on wikipedia. Its excellent source of information and its free.
