Albinia, Alice2008
Book
One of the largest rivers in the world, the Indus rises in the Tibetan mountains, flows west across northern India & south through Pakistan. For millennia it has been worshipped as a god; for centuries used as a tool of imperial expansion; today it is the cement of Pakistan's fractious union. This book tells its story.
