Series
Anglo-Sikh Wars
The Anglo-Sikh Wars sequence is a two-volume military history of the conflicts fought between the Sikh Empire and the East India Company in 1845–46 and 1848–49. It follows the political disintegration of the Lahore state after Ranjit Singh, the organisation and battlefield performance of the Khalsa army, British expansion towards the Punjab and the decisions of Sikh and British commanders. Together the books carry the narrative from the crossing of the Sutlej to the surrender and annexation of 1849.
Amarpal Singh combines campaign history with detailed battlefield reconstruction. Eyewitness accounts, contemporary drawings, modern photographs and new maps are used alongside guides to surviving terrain and monuments. The first volume examines Mudki, Ferozeshah, Bhudowal, Aliwal and Sobraon; the second follows the Multan rising and siege, the fighting along the Chenab, Chillianwala and the decisive Battle of Gujrat.
