High above the plains, in the remote Galwan Valley, Indian and Chinese soldiers stood within a disputed frontier where geography was brutal, trust was fragile, and the consequences of every decision could reach far beyond the mountains.

THE NIGHT IN GALWAN is for readers who want to understand the human story behind one of the defining military confrontations of modern India. The night ended. The border did not.…
