Widely regarded as the greatest of the Mughal emperors, Jalal ad-Din Akbar (1542-1603) was a formidable military tactician and popular demagogue. Ascending to the throne at the age of thirteen, he ruled for half a century, expanded the Mughal empire, and left behind a legacy to rival his infamous ancestor Chinggis Khan. This lucid biography provides glimpses into Akbar's daily life and highlights his contribution to new methods of imperial control.
