"Ashoka the Fierce: How an Angry Prince Became India's Emperor of Peace" by Carolyn Kanjuro recounts the fascinating transformation of Prince Ashoka, a fierce warrior with a penchant for violence, into one of India’s most revered emperors known for his advocacy of peace and compassion. The story explores Ashoka's early life marked by fierce battles and personal turmoil, leading to a pivotal moment of introspection after witnessing the horrors of war. Inspired by the teachings of Buddhism, he renounces his aggressive past and dedicates his reign to spreading kindness, moral governance, and the principles of non-violence across his empire, leaving a lasting legacy.
