Asoka: The Buddhist Emperor of India is a book written by Vincent A. Smith. The book is a biography of Asoka, the emperor of India who ruled from 268 to 232 BCE. Asoka was a great conqueror who expanded his empire through military conquests, but he is best known for his conversion to Buddhism and his efforts to spread the religion throughout his empire. The book explores Asoka's life, his early years as a prince, his rise to power, his military campaigns, and his conversion to Buddhism. It also examines his efforts to promote Buddhism, his edicts, and his legacy. The book provides a comprehensive account of Asoka's life and his contributions to Indian history and culture. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Indian history, Buddhism, or the life of Asoka.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
