Preface: no
Overview: The book attempts to distinguish Sikhs from people who look similar but who are very different in terms of their outlook and religion, i.e,., Arabs, the taliban, or muslims etc.  The need to make the distinction and to write the book, is because of victimisation of Sikhs by ignorant people, following the 9/11 terrorist attacks in the USA.  The book explains the Sikh identity and Sikh appearance and Sikhi, and why Sikhs look like other people (arabs and afghans).  Half of the book sets out the views of many people who are not Sikhs, on what Sikhi is and who the Sikhs are. The book also mentions the inadequacy of Sikhs at disseminating information about Sikhi to avoid mistaken identity by people who are ignorant.
