Dalrymple published his sixth book The Last Mughal, The Fall of a Dynasty, Delhi 1857 in 2006.

The book won praise for its use of "The Mutiny Papers", which included previously ignored Indian accounts of the events of 1857. He worked on these documents in association with the Urdu scholar Mahmood Farooqui ^[1].

In addition, Nobel Laureate Amartya Sen has written that "William Dalrymple's captivating book is not only great reading, it contributes very substantially to our understanding of the remarkable history of the Mughal Empire in its dying days … It is rare indeed that a work of such consummate scholarship and insight could also be so accessible and such fun to read."

The historian David Gilmour wrote in The Spectator of this "brilliant new book... a magnificent, multi-dimensional book which shames the simplistic efforts of previous writers… Dalrymple used to be a fine travel writer with a sense of history and has now become a fine historian with a sense of place."

On February 20 2007 this book won Dalrymple the Duff Cooper Memorial Prize for History and Biography.
