en
The First Anglo-Sikh War broke out in 1845
from the start it was marred by Victorian arrogance and bluster on the British side
and personal ambition
intrigue and treason in the Sikh camp. Five keenly fought contests ensued
including the great battle of Ferozeshah. With its ammunition spent
artillery destroyed and with no food and water
the British force found itself caught between two powerful Sikh armies. The Governor-General Sir Hardinge accompanying the army gave orders to burn all state papers in preparation for the worst
the fate of India would be decided that day.
Amarpal Sidhu's book uses numerous eye witness accounts of the First Sikh War
a conflict characterized by treachery
suffering and incredible bravery on both sides. Over a hundred photographs and new scale maps show the campaign as never before. Each chapter of The First Anglo-Sikh War has a corresponding 'Guide' chapter giving firsthand accounts of visitors to the battlefield from just a few hours after the battle
when fresh corpses and the detritus of war cover the ground
to up to 30 years later
when the land has been reclaimed by forest and agriculture. The reader is then invited to take his own tour of the battlefield. GPS coordinates of particular assaults and troop and artillery formations have been meticulously collected by the author to provide an accurate map of events
which can be plotted against the modern landscape using accessible software such as Google Earth. Detailed walking guides of the battlefields are also given.
