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.
