* 'Kirpal Dhillon makes a significant contribution in this excellent treatise on the historical dimensions of Sikh militancy in India. Combining the experience of a police practitioner with the diligence of a first-rate scholar, this is one of the more important books on the Sikh insurgency from the perspective of both sides of the conflict.' - Dr. Richard H. Ward, Director, Institute for the Study of Violent Groups * 'Kirpal Dhillon's first-hand account is hugely insightful in the range of detailed information and personal experience which it brings to the subject. He offers a living document, much more than a memoir, and strongly evokes the issues, personalities and sense of danger at the time.' - David Washbrook, St Antony's College, Oxford
