Narasimhan. Index. Since national security impacts every citizen in India, there is a growing need for a more sophisticated, broad-based and nuanced understanding of the instrument of force in statecraft. Largely confined to the strategic elite and practitioners thus far, a wider national security discourse could generate better ideas to proliferate and morph into better policies, strategies and doctrines. This academic endeavour, the first of its kind from India's National Defence College, seeks to tap the vast operational experience of all the contributors and offers a basic understanding of several important cornerstones of force and war fighting; how they can best be employed in current and future scenarios; and how best they can be synergised for effect. It is a go-to book for policy makers, legislators, diplomats, academics, leadership at various levels in the various national security verticals including the military, media and the curious reader even as India grapples with new and emerging security challenges in a volatile global geopolitical landscape.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Book Over a century of its existence, air power has created its own salience as an independent military instrument of force and a vital component of national security. Its unique capabilities and place in country s security and military strategies, have long been acknowledged and leveraged globally. Over the last ninety-one years since its inception, the Indian Air Force (IAF), as the true keeper of the nation s air power, has been steadfast in defending the skies and serving the country in war and peace. India s growth trajectory and rise in power is a challenge, given the evolving geo-political environment. The book cover contemporary changes in the security due to the multi-dimensional threats and the rapidly evolving nature of warfare. This book provides an insider perspective of the IAF, as it looks at Indian air power from a holistic 360 view, provides an honest assessment of its operational legacy, establishes its unique contemporary and future capabilities, and examines in-depth the variety of its kinetic and non-kinetic applications. It provides the nation through the entire spectrum of war, no-war-no-peace, and peace. It offers an extensive analysis of Indian air power s vital offensive strategic role, joint warfare credentials. The invaluable instrument of asymmetric deterrence in India s continental security, and its inadequately leveraged array of hard and soft power future options in the maritime domain towards regional peace and security, are extensively discussed in the book. The book will be of immense value for defence services, researchers in think tanks as well as students of national security, strategy and air power. Author Air Marshal Diptendu Choudhury (Retd) is former Commandant of India s National Defence College, New Delhi. An experienced pilot with over 5000 sorties on fighters, he has extensive experience in strategy formulation, policy and doctrine development, planning and execution of air operations.
