Hardcover. Condición: New. 1 September 1965. As the Pakistan Army breached the border and launched an attack on Indian defences to capture the Akhnoor Bridge—the main route leading to north Kashmir—the Indian Army found itself heavily outnumbered. Their only hope was support from the Indian air force. At Independence, after the departing British divided the Royal Indian Air Force between the countries, the air forces of India and Pakistan couldn't have been more different. While the Pakistan Air Force boasted a state-of-the-art fleet of F-86 Sabres and F-104 Starfighters, the Indian Air Force relied on an ageing fleet of Vampires, Toofanis, and Liberators. However, in the first decades after Independence, India began to rely heavily on a lightweight transonic fighter: the Gnat. In the first major war fought by India and Pakistan in 1965, a titanic struggle would take place in the skies between the Indian Gnats and the Pakistani Sabres. The Sabre Slayers: The Air Battles of the 1965 War with Pakistan chronicles the 22-day war fought at 15,000 feet in air. Air Marshal Philip Rajkumar and Shiv Kunal Verma draw on archival records and first-hand accounts to honour the memory of those Indian Air Force officers who displayed immense courage and skill in winning the air war against vastly superior enemy aircraft.…

Hardcover. Condición: New. In the summer of 1999, a single peak in the stark, desolate wilderness of the Siachen Glacier became the battleground between India and Pakistan. As conflict engulfed the Kargil sector, intelligence revealed activity atop Point 5770—a strategic peak from which one could command the southern part of the glacier. The Pakistan Army had established Bilal Post and reclaiming it was both imperative and daunting. In 1999: The Battle for the Heights of Point 5770, Lieutenant General Konsam Himalay Singh and Shiv Kunal Verma retell a gripping episode of the Kargil War when the soldiers of 27 Rajput battalion led by Major Navdeep Singh Cheema climbed the perilous mountain peak to launch an attack on the enemy. This is a riveting account of courage, leadership, and a hard-won victory in extreme conditions.…

Hardcover. Condición: New. On 20 October 1962, in the freezing valley of the Nam Ka Chu, 2 Rajput and other regiments faced impossible odds against a relentless Chinese assault. While Chinese troops occupied the commanding heights above the valley, Indian soldiers struggled with inadequate clothing, limited ammunition, and treacherous terrain. Yet, despite the disadvantages, the men of 2 Rajput, 7 Infantry, and 1/9 Gorkha Rifles stood their ground against overwhelming assaults from both front and rear. In 1962: Death Trap in Nam Ka Chu, Major General Ashok Kalyan Verma and Shiv Kunal Verma reconstruct one of the most devastating battles of the Sino-Indian War, and tell a story of tremendous courage, self-sacrifice, and survival against all odds. Drawing on archival records and the writings of Major General Ashok Kalyan Verma, the book revisits the morning of one of the darkest days in India's military history. …

Hardcover. Condición: New. During the 1965 war, around the flat fields and irrigation canals of Khemkaran town, dust rose in clouds and the horizon appeared deceptively open. It was in this daunting landscape that India attempted to advance on 6 September, and was met with fierce resistance by Pakistani artillery. Indian units were forced to pull back, regroup, and choose their ground. That ground was Asal Uttar, meaning true north. The line that formed there did not possess depth in the classical sense. In fact, it was a thin line composed of tired men who dug their heels in and refused to look over their shoulders. But had it broken under sustained pressure, the defence of the Punjab plains would have become nearly impossible. The Indian crews' Sherman tanks were going up against the Pakistani Army's M47 and M48 Patton tanks, which had an evident technological advantage. 1965: Holding the Line at Asal Uttar describes how the Indian forces repelled Pakistan's modern armoured division that had arrived with confidence, numbers, and a belief in its own invincibility. The book is a meticulously detailed account of the battle by Brigadier Harash Vir Singh of Deccan Horse, one of the oldest and most storied cavalry regiments of the Indian Army. Constructed using restrained, dignified recollections from veterans, it records a crucial episode of India's military history that holds many lessons for the ages to come.…

Hardcover. Condición: New. There are moments in a soldier's life that divide time into before and after. For young 2nd Lieutenant V. K. Singh such a moment arrived in the aftermath of the Bangladesh War of 1971, when he was sent to investigate what was vaguely called a 'race improvement camp'. There, he witnessed a scene for which no amount of military training could have prepared him. The Bangladesh War is recounted well and often in terms of its operational brilliance leading to the surrender of Pakistan and the birth of a new nation. However, in these retellings, the reason that compelled India into war that year is entirely overlooked. In 1971: The Genocidal War, General V. K. Singh attempts to define the systematic massacre in East Pakistan as genocide, a term long denied to it. Based on General V. K. Singh's first-hand accounts, this book describes in detail the events that preceded the war: the hapless human tide of refugees that started flowing into India in the early months of 1971, the rise of fragile makeshift camps across the frontier and the diseases that followed, India gearing up for hostilities amid strained resources and immense psychological pressure, and the creation of the Mukti Bahini that often worked in conjunction with the Indian Army. The collapse of Pakistani forces was swift and surrender ceremonies were conducted on 17 December. Yet, the military victory did not erase the mass violence that had preceded it. Both factually meticulous and evocative, this book makes a poignant effort to restore dignity to a tragedy largely erased from history. …

Hardcover. Condición: New. 27 October 1947. Shortly after dawn, Indian troops begin landing at the Srinagar airfield amid extreme uncertainty. It's possible that the airfield, which lies within striking distance of Pakistani soldiers, has already been overrun. Regardless, the airlift of Indian soldiers continues swiftly and with incredible audacity. On 7 November, the Battle of Shalateng, the first deliberate offensive undertaken by Indian forces in the Kashmir Valley, is fought. The invaders, unprepared for a coordinated mechanized thrust, collapse completely. In 1947: The Battle of Badgam and Shalateng, Colonel Ajay Kumar Raina records a definitive account of the India-Pakistan conflict over the princely state of Jammu and Kashmir following Partition. He looks at the persistence of British influence during the transition from empire to independence, and how it allowed Pakistan to strategically invade Jammu and Kashmir, while India remained mired in diplomatic uncertainties. The book shows how Jammu and Kashmir was absorbed into India under conditions that were fundamentally different from those applied elsewhere, and how this anomaly lies at the heart of the Kashmir dispute. Drawing on archival records, official correspondence, and first-hand accounts, this book depicts how the survival of the valley was secured in those first critical days after India achieved independence. It restores a sense of balance to the Jammu and Kashmir question and invites an 'honest reckoning with the past'.…
