About this ebook
The British faced a disciplined opponent, trained along European lines, which fielded armies numbering in the tens of thousands. The war featured a number of closely contested battles, with both sides taking heavy losses. This fully illustrated study of the First Anglo-Sikh War tells the story of one of the major colonial wars of the nineteenth century, as the East India Company attempted to wrest control of the Punjab region from a Sikh Empire riven by infighting.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Passable account of a battle and campaign that isn't really well known outside of India, but in many cases, a rather confusing account that didn't leave me very satisfied.
