Description du livre
Babur was a descendant of both Genghis Khan and Tamerlane, combining nomadic warrior traditions with his twenty-year fight to retain power in Central Asia, his move to Kabul, and his strategic, hard-won battles that established the empire in India.
It provides a detailed, researched account of 15th- and 16th-century Asian history, highlighting the cultural and political atmosphere.
This book is considered a compelling, popular history, which brings to life the "honesty of Babur" in one of Lamb's best studies of ancient rulers. Fascinating biography of the first of the Mogul emperors, a descendant of Genghis Khan and Tamerlane. Well-written popular history.
