Descended from Genghis Khan and Timur (Tamburlaine), the Moghuls were nomadic warriors from Central Asia. Hungry for new lands, in the sixteenth century they swept into India to found an empire that would one day stretch from the mountains and saffron fields of Kashmir and the high passes of Afghanistan to the blue ocean near Goa and the steamy jungles of Bengal. Alex Rutherford tells their epic story for the first time.
