Asoka and the Decline of the Mauryas - Oxford University Press 1997 - 344 pages

First published by the Clarendon Press in 1961, this authoritative work is based largely on the edicts of Asoka, whose policies are analysed against the background of Mauryan civilization during the third and fourth centuries BC.
