Throne of gold : the lives of the Aga Khans

by Anne Edwards

The Aga Khans have reigned as one of the 20th century's most extravagant lineages. The family--descendeds from Mohammed--owns homes and horse stables all over the world, and sits as the spiritual head of a sect of 15 million Muslims. Anne Edwards tells the Aga Khans story by focusing on three generations--the current Aga Khan, his father and his grandfather. These are men who lives are those of fairy tales. They live in lavish surroundings, are notorious in their pursuit of women and throw outrageous parties. Ripe material for a biography, and Edwards delivers it well.

Midly interesting. A bit gossipy. Worth a read if you didn't know much aboot the Aga khan.

I was expecting more of a serious historical study, this seems to be more focused on celebrity gossip.
