This is an amazing book written by Brigadier Dalvi, which takes you through insider story of the Indo China war of 1962. I think this gentle man wrote this when he was in captive as a war prisoner. For your information this was banned by Govt of India due to its controversial revealing.
Believe me this is a page turner with facts which makes you feel pathetic about stupid decisions made by our so called national heroes and feel so proud about our brave soldiers who went to the war front with few days of food ration and only a pocket full of bullets. One of the facts mentioned in the book says that we had a ratio of 1 Indian soldier to fight 20 Chinese. Also says how drastically we failed in the areas of food storage, clothes, weapons, infrastructure & technology.
I think the situation has not changed much even today and to prove we have a standing example of 26/11.
If you get a chance please read this book.
I recently finished reading “Money Changers” by Arthur Hailey which is a 1975 novel where you get the description of how the big banks failed causing tsunami is US economics. You can easily relate to the fall of Lehman Brothers here.
Take Away: I am really proud of our soldiers.
