This book is ok-ish, I bought it when it came out but it isn't great but not poor either.

Shelf Number: AN Pending 1 Started this one, it's easy to read and interesting so far. Author was in the British Army. I have detected his bias in a few places so far, but it's overall written quite neutrally. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premi Posted March 14, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 @dalsingh101 what you think ? "The Bright Eyes of Danger is rich in detail about the British advancement in India during the latter part of the eighteenth century, thus becoming the paramount power over all India except for the Sikh Kingdom in the Punjab. It gives a vivid account of the seven battles and one siege of the two wars with the Sikhs.

Premi Posted March 14, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 And, not seriously interested in this book, but it came up on a library catalogue search (non-fiction/novels of no interest to me) but maybe to you... "Detective Jaswinder Singh, known as the Jazz Singher (Jazz to his friends and enemies), is leaner, fitter, smarter and back working for the Met. The nervous breakdown that caused him to be seconded to Manchester is, he believes, now behind him - but he is still battling his personal demon, drink. Jazz's first case back at the Met comes dangerously close to home as he investigates the Viets - a gang quietly setting up East End Cannabis factories and trying to stay under the radar of the holy trinity of East End gangs; the Snake heads, Triad and Bam Bam. The murder of a sweet and innocent old lady, Alice, is the catalyst for the gangs to clash, causing the biggest East End war since the Krays. For Jazz it becomes personal - Alice had been part of his Newbury Park childhood. He goes on the rampage to find her killers. What started with the murder of a little old lady spirals out of control into serial murder, lies, duplicity and treachery, culminating in the death of a rookie Detective Constable on Jazz's team. This is the first book in a new crime series featuring Jaswinder Singh, a driven and brilliant Sikh detective, working in the East End of London." https://www.amazon.co.uk/Singhing-Detective-Jaswinder-Singh/dp/1848767218 A Sikh by birth. An East Ender by choice. Meet the formidable DS Singh. Following three apparently unlinked, but gruesome, murders in the East End of London, Police Detective Sergeant Jazwinder Singh is once more on the case. Jazz has a reputation for getting into murderous situations so when his rookie DC Ash Kumar disappears - the race is on. The underbelly of society who don't talk to police, talk to Jazz. Together Jazz, his reluctant snout Mad Pete, who seems to have a finger in every dodgy pie in the East End, and DI Boomer work to protect London and solve the horrific murders. Never one to avoid trouble, Jazz heads straight into murky and lawless areas to take on the Godfathers of London. Someone had to do it - and someone is going to die. The Godfathers of London is the the second in a series of multi-cultural thrillers featuring detective DS Singh. The first, The Singhing Detective, is currently being made into a film, due to be screened in December 2013 (less) https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18444699-the-godfathers-of-london 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/19157943-bright-eyes-of-danger I think pretty much all of these accounts are embedded in a triumphalist narrative that amount to british colonial propaganda. As long as people realise this and read accordingly it's okay. You can get some interesting facts from them sometimes. 16 hours ago, Premi said: And, not seriously interested in this book, but it came up on a library catalogue search (non-fiction/novels of no interest to me) but maybe to you... I don't know what makes you think that. Not my cup of tea at all. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In your position I'd get a few that are even too hard for you read right now, because down the line, you (with kirpa) might be able to read them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
