The definitive account of the 1999 Kargil war - the strategy, the effects, the heroism - from the man in charge.
In February 1999, Pakistani Army personnel, disguised as jehadi militants, infiltrated mountainous Kargil and occupied key vantage points. Their intrusion triggered off a limited war between the world’s newest nuclear states. It was a bitter battle, and one that throws up important lessons for India’s defence preparedness, as also its responses to flare-ups such as this. This book is also a reminder of the unparalleled heroism that was on display during those grim weeks, heroism that has become a benchmark for bravery.
