Empire of the Moghul ~ Raiders from the North

This is no historical novel outlining the quick rise to power of the first Moghul emperor.  Author Alex Rutherford tells us of the trials and tribulations of Babur.  This is the story of his early kingship at 13, his conquests, sudden losses of power, more conquests and losses until finally he is given the kingship of Kabul.  From there Babur set out to defend his country and expand its reach into Hindustan.  Well worth the read.
