Overview: The book is by a muslim and discusses Sikh history at the time of Mughals.  It includes details of guru Arjan's execution by the Mughal and to what extent hindus were responsible for it, and discusses the martyrdom of Tegh Bahadur.  Not having read the entire book, I get the impression it is a muslim's perspective on Sikh-mughal relations and history.  It is worth reading for this perspective.  The author is sympathetic of Sikhs and Sikhi because he was saved by one (Sahab Singh) and delivered to his family, at the time of Partition.

Title: History of the Sikhs
Author surname(s): Cunningham
Author forename(s): Joseph Davy
Publisher: S Chand & Co, New Delhi
Pages: 402
ISBN: none
Publn 1966 estd. (original publication date: 1966 estd.)
Location: shelf 17.4 SGSSS library
Language: English
Preface: y
Overview: The book is an edited version (editor: Garrett HLO) of Cunningham's book that was first published in 1849. Cunningham spent 8 years among Sikhs.  His book is considered an accurate account.  His book "told the whole truth-the unpalatable truth, regarding the first Sikh war; it exposed the real strength of the Sikh army; the conduct of, and the negotiations with, the Sikh chiefs...But a despotic Government cannot endure truths which seem to reflect on the justice of its policy.  Looking at the policy of annexation from the basis of Cunningham's book, that policy was undoubtedly unjust." Cunningham's book covers the gurus and other religions and the history of the Punjab from around AD 800 and the surrounding states that came under Sikh control or influence.  It covers the period of Ranjit Singh and his battles with the Brits through to around 1846. There are many appendices that present treaties and information about GGS and DG scriptures, and a variety of other information.
