This book is a fictional autobiography of an officer in the service of Maharaja Runjit Singh (1780-1839), the leading Sikh chieftain. This book traces the history of Runjit Singh`s reign through the first person account of a European, Colonel Bellasis, who finds himself in the service of the Maharaja. From the eyes of this wilayati, who had the chance of observing him from close quarters, we get an objective assessment of Runjit Singh`s exceptional qualities of military leadership, diplomacy, and administrative skills in welding together a large and united state of Punjab.
