The Great Victory

This was the second war with pakistan.I also told the foolishness that uptil 1965 our armed forces where not getting training.This book also tells about the geat bravery of our Indian pilots who crashed Americas's gifted fighter plan to pakistan like a toys from oldest fighter plane.And also Lal Bhadhur Shastri Proved much better prime minister than Nehru.
