A very nicely written, 1st hand account of India's 1st televised war. These are the real stories which wouldn't be available anywhere. An inside view of real life officers and men of the Armed forces who lived to tell the story of the war that changed a lot of lives forever.
A must read for any one who wants to pick through the lives of these men.

Some fine details of the Kargil war is described in this book. Day-to-day soldiers’ tale is nicely depicted by the author. Enjoyed the book very much.

This book, in the way it's been written, literally took me to Kargil.

The way in which it describes every situation can actually be visualized. It at every stage applauds human success and subtly deplores how our high ups both in Government, bureaucracy and Army messed up the operation pre & post intrusion.

The multiple descriptions of Author's interaction with different people right from a Signal man, to a Major, to a transit camp commander to Jawans actually gets the reader well acquainte...

Coupled with good English is a vivid description of the Kargil war, through the eyes of a journalist, who is recruited to deliver objective facts, but can't help indulging in the agony underlying enthusiastic postures at the front.

Its an interesting book. Its not a war report diary, it tells a lot more than that. Apart from being interesting, it also tells about the perspective of top layer, middle layer and bottom layer or army during the war. It has a humorous, sarcastic side also along with the misery of war. Overall, an interesting read.

The book was just awesome.
Everyone should read it.
