William Dalrymple is one of the finest historians and authors who has previously brought to life the story of East India Company and how it led to British India. In this book, he focuses on, among other things, how Buddhism spread all over.

It's a fascinating topic. He also has a very successful podcast [1][2] -- with his co-host Anita Anand -- The Empire Podcast, which chronicles the rise and fall of empires. Highly educational, not to mention entertaining.

Recommended!!
