2.0 out of 5 stars Mughal Emporers
This book is good for a cursory look. the author seems biased against the subjects of his writing and tries to write controversial catchy snippets rather than valuable historical account

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Book on Mughal Dynasties..., July 11, 2010
This review is from: The Mughal Emperors: And the Islamic Dynasties of India, Iran, and Central Asia (Hardcover)
If you are looking for a book that covers all of the Mughal Dynasties...not just the Indian branch of the family...this is the book for you.

This book has colorful illustrations and detailed maps that some books on this subject lack...and which are very essential to some western readers who are not familiar with the geography involved or even the political situation in the early Central Asia...namely the "-stans"...Persia, the steppes of Asia and what is now Pakistan and India...

The book is visually attractive with many graphics, photos and prints... This helps hold the narrative together for the average reader.

A good title for this book would be The Complete Encyclopedia of the Mughals of Central Asia...

This should be the first book you buy on this topic... It covers almost everything...and gives the "big picture" of Central Asia at the time of the Muguls...

Best of all the book avoids the deception that "regional histories" can give...when the meaningful action shifts across the borders of the current "state" that the history is about...to the region in general.
