This is one of the first (and still one of the few) comprehensive books about the Sikh religion in the English language. MacAuliffe had extensive access to manuscripts of the Sikh sacred writings (the Granth), as well as support from Sikh scholars and leaders of the time. This volume covers Guru Nanak, the founder of Sikhism. This is volume one of six; future volumes are forthcoming.
it was OK, unfortunately in several places the same verses were repeated. Not sure when this book was written, but the english seemed very dated as did the descriptions of alternate religions. It did have some interesting information in it, but it was pretty well hidden...
