It is an authentic and eye-witness account of the First Anglo Sikh war (1845-1846) by an adjutant to British commander General Gough. The book reveals unsavoury acts by British to deceit and bribing top commanders (Jammu Dogra , Gulab Singh , Lal Singh & Teja Singh) to betray their sides. To reveal this truth, author was removed from political office and returned to his regiment in disgrace, and died at the age 39, after 2 years of broken heart. On the whole, this book is a genuine attempt to give Sikhism its place in general history of humanity.
