Sikh Soldier - Policing the Empire

By Narindar Singh Dhesi Published by the Naval and Military Press in 2010, this is a first edition book.  It is a new softcover book in excellent condition.  Size:  9 " x 6".  398 pages.     This book is a stimulating investigation into a subject hitherto treated insufficiently. Narindar Singh Dhesi examines in successive chapters the Indian Army's role in extending and securing the British Empire, especially the employment of Sikh Soldiers to be in the vanguard of military operations, and as the Sentinels of the Empire. In the style which caused his earlier books, Sikh Soldier: Battle Honours and Sikh Soldier: Gallantry Awards to become mainstays of Sikh martial history since their publication, Narindar Singh Dhesi again brings his orderly thoroughness to the evaluation of colonial warfare and policing of the distant outposts of the British Empire by the Sikh Soldier. Sikh Soldier: Policing the Empire, takes us from the fall of the Sikh Kingdom to the horrors of the Sepoy Mutiny,
