In a comprehensive and original account, John Richards traces the
history of the Mughal Empire, from its foundations in the early 1500s, through its control of almost the entire Indian subcontinent,
to its dissolution in 1720. As weU as focusing on the military successes of the Mughal emperors and the dynamic nature of their territorial expansion, the author considers their institutional innovation, their patronage of the arts, their ideology and their attitude to Islam.
This excellent monograph sets for itself the goal of providing a one-volume synthesis accessible to the non-specialist, of a period in India's past which has had an enduring impact and influence on the region's political, economic and cultural history.
