As the work, starting sometime in 2006, progressed, theauthor was drawn into exploring the entire range of Nepali history, with a stress on the modern era.Singha Durbar covers the period till the fall of the Rana regime in 1951, and this sequel starts offthen and ends in 2008. Kingdomost in particular relies heavily on one-on-one interviews withkey political and militaryeaders of the country.
