Publicist Andrew Robinson gives a good overview, with a few personal touches (including a lot of attention to the still undeciphered script of the Indus civilization), and especially the constant warning (rightly so) that there are still many unknowns. He also does not shy away from thorny issues, such as the highly charged debate about what happened after 1900 BCE, the so-called Aryan controversy.
