This book is regarded as the holy text in Indian Buddhist community. Written by Dr. B. R. Ambedkar, the author of several hundred books and father of the constitution of India, this book is simply a peace of work. It details the time before Buddha's birth, the king system that was followed in those days, then how his birth was predicted by some elderly and educated rishi (a hindu monk), etc. In intricate details Dr. B. R. Ambedkar was able to go into day-to-day details of Buddha's life while he was growing up now knowing he was going to the Buddha one day. He proves to be the kindest while growing up with his cousins. He gets married to a beautiful princess Yashodhara and then gives birth to a child. This book uses another approach, another reasoning for him to leave the life of a king and be an ascetic. Usually people read the story of his locked in the palace and suddenly getting exposed to newborn, aged, sick and death scenarios which makes him very reluctant to be in kingly life. But in this book Dr. Ambedkar uses a very practical approach with the historical proofs behind the events that took place and led Siddhartha to renounce his kingdom and be an ascetic.It becomes even more interesting, when Dr. Ambedkar describes Buddha's attempts with several teachers who promise him the ultimate truths, but turn out to be kind of insufficient for him. Finally, he decides to work himself to find for the ultimate reasons for suffering.After attaining enlightenment, he has travelled throughout the north India, spreading his teachings and love. Book lists hundreds of events (angulimala, looters, hindu monks, lay people, kings, soldiers, etc) when he guides people for the truth inside rather than outside oneself.I can write another 2 pages on it, but I guess reading it would be a great experience for you.
I dont know where they get off selling this book for over $200, but it is available through Buddhist Temples for free. It is analogous to getting a Christian Bible at a church for free.

Helps understand what are Buddha's teaching and how it has nothing do with Hindu system. It is wrongly spread that Buddha was incarnation of Vishnu. Buddha's teachings go against most of the basics of HinduBuddha's teaching are truly based on logic, common sense, and science. He does not believe in god, rebirth, and soul. Or do not think these thing are important for mankind.
