Raiders from the North par Alex Rutherfold

This is a fascinating story of the birth of the Moghul Empire. While Columbus was discovering America, Babur was thrust onto the throne by a freak accident and clawed and scratched out his dynasty.

This book was at time fascinating ... at times frustrating. Babur life was a whirlwind of conquests and surrenders. The book lacked a primary foe for Babur. It seemed like he kept just fighting henchmen .....

The book was near to something amazing. It just didn't quite get there.

Empire of the Moghul: Traitors in the Shadows par Alex Ruther Ford

The story of the sixth Moghul emperor Aurangzeb is fast moving and is in line with the known historical facts. While the book is quite an enjoyable read, the depth which could have made this engrossing feels missing, which is the case with almost all other books on the series except the ones on Babur and Humayun.

Empire of the Moghul: The Serpent's Tooth par Alex Rutherford

The 5 th book of moghul empire is the best book after the 3rd book ruler of the world. In this book the author's narration kept me going. Author tried to give narration through Nicholas ballantyne eyes. He tried to explain samargarh battle between aurangzeb murad and dara sukoh all son of shah jahan and death of dara sukoh. By doing this author has succeeded well in narration. This book shows true love, betrayal, treachery and hungry for power. overall loved reading this book so it's a good goodread... ☺️… (plus d'informations)

Traitors In The Shadows par Alex Rutherford

Another book on Moghuls to be precise 6th Moghul emperor Aurangzeb who was the last emperor before the downfall of Moghuls. 7th emperor was Muazzam popularly known as bhadur shah who ruled only 5 years of his life as Moghul emperor. Leaving the 3rd emperor that is Akbar all others have struggled to be in top. This book is about 6th Emperor Aurangzeb who was a strict Sunni Muslim and making religion as his first law which is the major reason of Moguls downfall. Aurangzeb spent his last 25 years in south trying to outdo marathas, on doing this his other rebellions from North started gathering forces against him. All six books are good making people understand how the emperor's were in their life time. overall it was a good Goodread... 😃… (plus d'informations)
