The Maharaja's Box

An Imperial Story of Conspiracy, Love, and a Guru's Prophecy
Book • 2000
The Maharaja's Box begins with a list of dormant account holders published by the Swiss Bankers Association, leading to an investigation into the life of Maharajah Duleep Singh, the last Emperor of the Sikhs.

Campbell uses historical documents to recreate Singh's attempt to reclaim his throne and overthrow British rule in India, weaving a tale of espionage, intrigue, and illicit love.

The book delves into the annexation of the Punjab by the British and the loss of Singh's wealth, including the Koh-i-nor diamond.
