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.
