Firuz Shah Tughluq was one of the most outstanding rulers of India and his life and work has got a great significance and value for the history of Northern India. The present work takes the history of the Tughluq dynasty a step further, the early phases having been dealt with assiduous erudiation by well-known savants. The author has very carefully utilized the original sources in this study and in seven chapter he has discussed the various events of Firuz's reign and throw light on several obscure points like his succession etc. He has refused Sir Wolseley Haig's theory of usurpation and tried to establish his view by cogent arguments. The he deals at length with the administration of the Sultan and the various reforms introduced by him. The author has discussed the principal contemporary sources in detail at the end. The book is a valuable contribution to our medieval historical literature.
