AKBAR EMERGES AS A CHARISMATIC AND VISIONARY EMPEROR — AMBITIOUS, TOLERANT, AND COMPLEX. RUTHERFORD BRINGS INDIA’S VAST TAPESTRY OF CULTURE AND CONFLICT TO LIFE WITH POETIC YET GRIPPING STORYTELLING.
Continuing the story of the Moghul Empire by taking up the story of Humayun. Once again all the political intrigue and scenes of action are based on the testimony of those who witnessed the events. The book rattles along at a good pace and is excellent if you fancy learning something about this dynasty without if feeling like learning. The writing isn't outstanding but more than adequate and the book is very much in the style of Conn Iggulden but perhaps not quite as good.

Excellent book based on the 2nd emperor of moghuls Humayun. Author has been truthful about all the events in the book from the death of khanzada Humayun's sister and Hindal Humayun's half brother. He has truthfully given after notes about their death mentioned in book is fictional. This book describes about the life of Humayun and author has described properly with proper details and research... overall a GOODREAD.... 😊
Interesting read for the historical background, however I don't like his writing style.
The story of Humayun and his struggles to regain his throne...
