Hardcover. Zustand: New. 'Gunners At The Battlefront' is a career biography of a soldier who has tried to communicate his passion for the nation, having served it with dedication and fervour for over 30 years, and while doing so is narrating to fellow citizens the sacrifices, triumphs and tribulations that a service career gives you. This book is an account of the Battle assault in Chhamb-Jaurian Sector in Dec 1971 where our troops and defences faced a heavy and devastating onslaught from the enemy as a result of a flawed strategy. This book describes the real valour that was witnessed on ground, for the world to see, and attempts to show respect and endearment to the families of the departed souls killed in action. Further, the book captures soldiering in the North East sector facing the Chinese PLA in 1973 despite the lack of basic infrastructure. And finally it culminates with Lt Col AK Kher's tour in the Siachen Glacier where he was among the first pioneers to set up a Medium Artillery Gun Battery. To deploy heavy medium guns up the hill was an unachievable task and the book captures the difficulties that had to be overcome to accomplish this arduous task beautifully. Thereafter the striking of the enemy at will is described in a most informative and revealing way. The book ends with humour in Army life which brings out the humane part of soldiering.
