   A detailed account of the war, but sometimes gets bogged down in minutiae. Still, a valuable resource for history buffs. The battlefield guides are a nice touch.

   A gripping account of a relatively unknown war. Singh brings the battles and the people involved to life. I couldn’t put it down!

   While factually sound, it was a bit of a slog to get through. The writing style is dense. It needs to be less academic, more accessible.

   An informative book, although a bit dry. I would’ve liked more personal stories from the soldiers. Still, a worthwhile addition to my collection.

    A decent overview of the conflict. It left me wanting more in-depth analysis of certain battles. Worth a read if you’re new to this history.

    The book provides a solid overview, but I felt it lacked a certain narrative flair. The maps were helpful. It’s worth reading but not captivating.

    I appreciated the depth of the historical context. But It was quite a dense read. Perhaps better suited for academic readers rather than casual readers.
