Babur, founder of the Moghul dynasty in India, is one of history's most endearing conquerors. In his youth he is one among many impoverished princes, all descended from Timur, who fight among themselves for possession of some small parts of the great man's fragmented empire. Babur even captures Samarqand itself on three separate occasions, each for only a few months. The first time he achieves this he is only fourteen.

What distinguishes Babur from other brawling princes is that he is a keen observer of life and keeps a diary. In it, he vividly describes his triumphs and sorrows whether riding out with friends at night to attack a walled village or moving around for unrequited love of a beautiful boy.
