Description
Operation Meghdoot was launched by the Indian Army on the barren and icy heights of the Siachen Glacier to thwart Pakistan from gaining control of this strategically located glacier.

Informative Book
I read the book. It is an informative account of the Indian Army's Siachen operations. It also throws light on the Indian Air Force's airbridge to the glacier. To summarise, it provides a bird's eye view of the complete Siachen saga. It is definitely worth a buy for those who love reading books on the Indian Army.
