Summary
"Abuʼl Fath Jalal-Ud-Din Muhammad Akbar, the third Mughal emperor, is widley regarded as one of the greatest rulers in history. During his reign, the Mughal Empire was one of the wealthiest in the world, and covered much of the Indian subcontinent. Although there are dozens of books on the empire, there are suprisingly few full-length accounts pf its most remarkable emperor, with the last major study having been published over two decades ago. In Akbar : The Great Mughal, this outstanding sovereign finally gets his due, and the reader gets the full measure of his extraordinary life.." -- Jacket
