A newly published book highlights the rich military history of the Sikhs. Readers are taken through a journey of over 200 years through anecdotes and important events. The small community from the Panjab overcame tremendous odds to become a pivotal military force which conquered Northern India eventually leading to a Sikh Empire. In this deeply-researched book, Mann uses rare anecdotes to provide recognition of early descriptions from administrators, writers and illustrators who depicted the history of the Sikhs and the land of the Panjab.
