Lahore Front  (Hardcover, Dr.Shimran Khan)

On 1 September 1965, Pakistan invaded Chamb district in Jammu and Kashmir, triggering a series of tank battles, operations and counter-operations. It was only the bravery and well-executed strategic decisions of the soldiers of the Indian Army that countered the very real threat of losing Kashmir to Pakistan. Recounting the battles fought by five different regiments, the narrative reconstructs the events of the 1965 Indo-Pakistan war, outlining details never revealed before, and remembers its unsung heroes. The book is extremely useful for anyone which is interested in military history and relations between India and Pakistan. It provides a comprehensive overview of the conflict and makes sense of the morass of diplomacy and the confusion of war.
