"Babar, the founder of the Mughal Empire in India, proved to be the best general and administrator of his time. At a fairly young age he had to deal with intricate problems in Central Asia and achieved remarkable success. His greatest achievement indeed was the conquest of major part of India. He therefore occupies a unique position in the annals of our history. His character and personality have been depicted in this work.

Undoubtedly this book would be useful for teachers, scholars, and students in India and abroad.\' (jacket)
