What is Ashoka: From Conqueror to Benevolent Ruler about?

Ashoka began his rule as a violent king, killing many of his brothers to seize the throne. After a devastating war against the kingdom of Kalinga where over 100,000 people were killed, Ashoka was overcome with remorse for the destruction. He renounced violence and converted to Buddhism, using his position to spread Buddhist teachings across India and abroad. Ashoka established many Buddhist monuments, abolished the death penalty, and promoted peace, brotherhood, and compassion for the remainder of his reign
