The Sikhs and the Sikh Wars by Charles Gough

A gripping military account of the Anglo-Sikh Wars from someone who fought in them. Written by General Sir Charles Gough, The Sikhs and the Sikh Wars offers a soldier’s-eye view of the brutal campaigns that toppled the Sikh Empire between 1845–49.

Gough charts battlefield tactics, leadership decisions, victories, failures and the ferocity of Sikh resistance — combining personal experience with contemporary military reports. Far from a distant history, this is a primary source written with immediacy and detail by a participant in the conflict.

Essential reading for anyone studying the fall of the Sikh Empire, the East India Company’s final great conquest and the military legacy of Ranjit Singh’s Khalsa Army.
