Along the way, Lt Gen Dhaliwal recounts his foundational experiences as a leader and sapper, extracting the perceptive lessons he learnt about the nature of a sapper's endeavours and the manner in which difficult assigned tasks were accomplished. He describes in great detail the challenges he faced and the techniques of leadership and learning experiences in different tenures, across the length and breadth of the country.
