  • Description
    In February 1999, Pakistani Army personnel, disguised as jihadi militants, infiltrated into mountainous Kargil and occupied key vantage points. Their intrusion triggered a limited war between the world's newest nuclear states. It was a bitter battle, and one that threw up important lessons for India's defence preparedness, as also its responses to conflicts such as this. This incisive book by General V.P. Malik, former Chief of the Army Staff, analyses the reasoning behind the Pakistani Army's moves and tactics and reviews crucial issues such as the extent of intelligence and surveillance failure on the Indian side and the measures necessary to redress these failings. Away from questions of strategy and tactics, however, Kargil is also a reminder of the unalloyed heroism that was on display during those grim weeks, heroism that become a benchmark for valour.

    Great Book

    Fantastic read.
    It gives an in-depth account of Kargil war. And who better than General VP Malik to share these experiences?
    I recommend this book to all others who are interested in defense strategies.

    Brilliant

    This book is one of the best book which is based on military literature. It not only tells the brave stories of the BRAVEHEARTS but also depicts the politico-military situations and how to overcome the inadequacy of proper military management. A must read book for all defence lovers.

    Best book on one of the battles fought by Indian Soldiers

    This is a detailed history of Kargil conflict.
    Wish we could have so well written books about 1948, 1962, 1965 and 1971 wars too!!
    Also I hope some of the recommendations made by the General are implemented soon for preventing a reoccurence.

    Awesome

    Broader view of the war can be found in this book. General Malik has written down so many unknown stories of the time. Real political scenario of our country is nicely described here. How politics, diplomacy and real war were going on side by side for country’s sake .... all nicely put in this book.

    Just wow!

    The business standard review is apt for this book. "Comprehensive, straight from the shoulder".

    I don't think anyone could have described better than the Army Chief himself, as to what transpired during the war. It has helped increase my awareness of the war events and the functioning of the defence forces by many many folds. I am happy that I chose this book. A must read for every defence enthusiast.
