From the back cover: "Guru Gobind Singh - founder of the khalsa saint warrior par excellence, poignant poet, philosopher, soulful human being was the illustrious Tenth Guru of the Sikhs. This extensively researched book goes beyond the established events that broadly include the untimely assassination of Guru Tegh Bahadur, Guru Gobind Singh's coronation, the battles of Bhangani and Nadaun, his stay in Paonta and Anandpur Sahib and the historic creation of the Khalsa. The book talks about other events that sought to widely establish the khalsa including the battle of Nirmohgarh, the siege and evacuation of Anandpur, the battles of Chamkaur, Khidrana and Muktsar, his Zafarnama to Aurangzeb and subsequent meeting with Bahadur Shah in Agra. Most importantly, it provides some unknown facts about the anointment of the holy book of the Sikhs - the Guru Granth Sahib as the eternal guiding light."
