I have never really written a review for a book before, but I feel this one deserves it. This is a book that gives a somewhat brief (it's only 260 pages long) but interesting and well put together unbiased overview of Sikh history, from the beginning of the world's 5th largest religion in the 1400s until the present day issues faced by the people of its faith. This book is not a spiritual guide, if you are looking to learn mainly about the teachings of Sikhism you might be a bit disappointed, however this is an important book. There are not many of its kind out there, as far as I'm aware, especially in the English language. Patwant Singh has done an excellent job of putting together 600 years worth of history in this book with extensive research. The language used can be a bit complex at times and despite not being a very long book I found it to be a heavy read, at times difficult to follow, but in the end, it was worth it. The only reason I am giving it 4 and not 5 stars is because I feel the language used could have been a bit simpler. But do I recommend this book? Absolutely.
