20 reviews for The History of Akbar, Volume 6 Paperback 25 January 2020

  1. Shlok Mohaley –

    This volume felt very focused on military campaigns. I wanted more on the cultural and social aspects of the empire.

  2. Prayush Kishan –

    A deep dive into a specific period. If you love military history, this is your book! For casual readers, it might be a bit overwhelming.

  3. Anchit Ambesh –

    As usual, Thackston delivers. For serious history buffs, it’s an easy recommendation. Others may find it too academic.

  4. Annika Jaiswal –

    Volume is a good addition to the series but not the best. Enjoyable but slightly boring. Some parts are unnecessarily detailed.

  5. Kuldeep Singh –

    Another excellent addition! Really enjoying Thackston’s work. Very informative and provides great insight into the time period covered.

  6. Bhavna –

    I learned so much about the Mughal empire! A bit dense at times, but well worth the effort. I recommend for anyone interested in history.

  7. Navneet Kumar –

    A solid installment, but I was hoping for more focus on Akbar’s personal life rather than just the battles. Still worth reading though!

  8. Anshul Garg –

    Volume keeps the saga going! Battles, politics, and courtly intrigue abound. A must-read for anyone invested in Mughal history. Highly recommended.

  9. Venu Gopal –

    This book is absolutely magnificent, the way the book is written makes you feel as if you are living back in the era of Akbar.

  10. Manchi Prasanth –

    Not my favorite in the series. Dragged in parts. Too much focus on battles. Akbar’s personal life should have been explored.

  11. Mayank Joshi –

    While informative, this volume felt a bit dense compared to the previous ones. The military campaigns are well-documented, but I craved more personal anecdotes.

  12. Dharm Pal –

    A truly great volume in the series! This is a great purchase for people into the history of the Mughal Empire.

  13. Nigamananda Rao –

    Excellent translation and very informative. This book is great for history students. A bit complicated for the average reader.

  14. Mohammed Sandeed Farooq –

    Incredible detail! You can tell that the author really did their research before they wrote this book. I would recommend this to any history buff.

  15. Afan Afreedi Mohammad –

    Another fascinating glimpse into Akbar’s reign! Thackston’s translation is, as always, excellent. Though sometimes dry, the detail is incredible. Recommended for history buffs.

  16. Mohd Yunus –

    The book came in great condition and was delivered on time. I am happy with the purchase.

  17. Sahil Khadane –

    The level of detail is impressive, but I found myself getting lost in the names and dates. It requires serious concentration.

  18. Raju –

    Good continuation of the series. It is full of interesting insights. I enjoyed reading about the battles and political strategies employed by Akbar.

  19. Shipra Sharma –

    Good, but not great. It’s a bit dry and can be hard to follow if you are not already familiar with the history.

  20. Ananya –

    Thackston’s work is impeccable. Akbar’s military strategies are laid bare. My only complaint is that the maps could be better.
