Digital Book :
The MOGHUL
By Thomas Hoover
Published by Zebra Books, New York - 1983
"...the finest book on India since Kipling."
India 1620: India is ruled by the son of the great Akbar, and is about to pass his crown to one of his sons. Brian Hawksworth, ship's captain and emissary of King James, must choose sides, but will he choose correctly? The future of England, and of India, depend on it.
He had come to India to open trade for "barbaric" England and squeeze out the Portuguese, who try to kill him at every opportunity. But once on land, he becomes captivated by the country and the people. The beauty and romance of the exquisite Moghul Empire seduce him from his material goals to a new quest for supreme sensuality in music, mystical visions, and sacred lovemaking.
From pulse-pounding sea battles, to tiger hunts, war elephants, harems and forbidden love--The Moghul takes you on a breath-taking tour of the India that existed before the British Raj.
"Grand adventure, firmly plotted, well told... an excellent novel." Los Angeles Times
"A fine old-fashioned adventurous read..." Cleveland Plain Dealer

I do not know how the book would be, but the cover seems beautiful :)
Most of the Mughal History till Aurangzeb is well known. I am interested in a book that would throw light on Post Aurangzeb upto Bahadur shah Zafar
Post Auranzeb the Mughal history is that of the Maratha's, looking up their history provides necessary information. They were defacto overlords of Delhi throne.
Aurangzeb was a fanatic & the worst mughal among all !!
Its amazing how every indian talks about Aurangzeb and hardly any one knows about his elder brother Dara shukoh
Oh on, how can you know about Auranzeb and not know about Dara Shikoh? Its one of claims to fame of Auranzeb!! Rest assured, people know Auranzeb.
Winners write history..and thus erase who they want to from the memory of history....
