Preface: n
Overview: Not easy to understand what the book is about but I think it is an account of the battle between the Brits and  Dewan Moolraj in the siege of Mooltan.Not clear to me who were the foreigners and who were the owners of the land.  There are accounts of Ranjit Singh - who conquered the land but perhaps that came after the battle that is the subject of this book.Moolraj eventually surrendered to the Brits. "The Mooltan rebellion was the father, not the son, of the second Sikh war."

Publn 1968 (original publication date: 1968)
Location: shelf 17.6 SGSSS library
Language: English
Preface: y
Overview: "Out-gunned and in the field and sustaining heavy losses, the English soldiers won four pitched battles in a month to defeat not only an army but also a race of fanatics.An account by a British person of the Sikh battles with the British, and includes information on the Khalsa and the strategy and actions of Ranjit Singh.  There is a bibliography.  "Policy prevented me publicly recording my sentiments of the splendid gallantry of a fallen foe, and I declare, were it not for a conviction that my country's good required the sacrifice, I could have wept to witness the fearful slaughter of so devoted a body." said Hugh Gough (Brit commander-in-chief) of the Sikh army slaughtered at Sobraon.  The author writes "when a red coated British Army, with colours flying and bands playing, marched off to the other side of the world to take on a native kingdom, no one expected any other result than the complete rout of the natives, who were not expected to possess the same high qualities that bring success to white troops."

Title: Winston Churchill's account of Anglo-Sikh wars & its in-side tale

Publisher: SGPC
Pages: 160
ISBN: none
Publn 2007 (original publication date: 1968)
Location: shelf 17.6 SGSSS library
Language: English
Preface: y
Overview: The book is the 2007 edition, and the 1984 edition is also on the same shelf.  Both editions are identical except the 1984 edition has a page at the back of errors. The 2007 book considers "Winston's [Churchill's verdict] regarding Anglo-Sikh relations after the death of Maharaja Ranjit Singh…is neither borne out by history nor by the evidence of those eminent English-men who handled affairs in India and in England at the time of those ill fated happenings."  The book covers the period around the Anglo-Sikh wars and also mentions Jind Kaur and Duleep Singh.  I think in essence, the book is a response to reject the history according to Churchill and other Brits and set the historical record straight.

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.
