This is a great book for understanding the times , hardships and the circumstances in which GURU JI was born and what he did from there on. The analogy as compared to Gods of Hindu culture is probably the stand out feature which answers the comparison with logic, tact and fact.
However , I defer with the author's constant views on 1. uplift ment of 'only HINDUS'. GURU Ji's principles was for entire human race , 2. On constantly fixating him as a 'KSHATRIYA' and opposing Brahmans. GURU Ji was above all this and this is where author had done great injustice. 3. With constantly calling him just a 'Rashtrawaad' where as he was against the use of forceful conversion of any religion to another and GURU JI's ways and teachings were for all of humanity.
When book is read with these views , all these things come to mind, other than that, this a great historic book for getting a glimpse and knowing the atmosphere of those times.

A book characteristic of its time and author. In particular the author is an Arya Samajist and this informs his attitude and perceptions to a large degree.

The basic facts and events are well documented and told in a linear fashion.

Overall a great read, although it's worth noting the author's Arya Samaj leanings.

Apart from a fierce anti-Hindu-Brahmanism stance that uses up the entire first half of the book, there is not much here that cannot be found elsewhere and in better detail. First published in 1901, it is probably more of historic value.
