| Description: | Select Guide Rating Thrilling new biography about the first man to rule all of the Indian subcontinent, from one of the great chroniclers of India. India''s lost emperor Ashoka Maurya has a special place in history. In his quest to govern India by moral force alone he turned Buddhism from a minor sect into a world religion, and set up a new yardstick for government. But Ashoka''s bold experiment ended in tragedy and he was forgotten for almost two thousand years. |
