The reader in me is quite motivated these days. After reading The Line
of Fire, I put my hands on this piece of writing this morning. I am naturally
attracted to and curious to enhance my knowledge of history. So far, I have
read only 22 pages out of 400 pages of this book and have a feeling that it's a
fascinating and riveting saga that brings alive a spectacular bygone era. It’s
an enchanting piece of work combining the entertainment of fiction with the
levelheadedness of history.
About the Author: Dirk Collier’s passion for Asian culture and history was aroused as a
result of his travels throughout the continent, predominantly in China and
India. Apart from books, he has also written articles for various journals and
occasionally lectures at universities and cultural institutions.
Professionally, he is a lawyer and a businessman and serves on the board of
several organizations.
About Book: This book gets you on a journey of Mughals Legend and how they
thrived and later on strived to keep intact their empire which was confronted
by many adversaries at the end of its dismissal. Whether we like it or not, the
Mughals have left us with a legacy that cannot be erased. With regard to the
eventful reigns of Babur, Humayun, Akbar, Jahangir, Shah Jahan, Aurangzeb, or
their successors, crucial questions arise. Where did they succeed? Where did
they fail? And more importantly, what should we learn from their experiences,
including both triumphs and failures?
This book is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand Mughal history
without being bogged down by too much detail.
