The Book of Ashoka: Warrior Prince to Emperor of Peace

By Vincent Smith, Simon Webb, H.G. Wells

Over twenty-two centuries ago, Ashoka Maurya, lord of a vast Indian empire, won a crushing victory in war. Filled with remorse, he embraced compassion, and tried to build a Buddhist utopia throughout India and beyond.The Book of Ashoka is intended as a source-book, reader and introduction to this unique historical figure. Simon Webb's introductions to the various sections tell the story of the re-discovery of Ashoka by nineteenth-century European colonisers, and explore the lasting significance of Ashoka for modern Indians.Published by the Langley Press
