"Reflections of an Air Warrior provides a birds eye view of three critical areas that cover the entire spectrum of an air warrior's career involving flight safety and operations, leadership and air power. By sharing his varied experiences in the field in a forthright, lucid and informal style, and expressing his opinion on issues that range from grass root flight safety issues, ethics and values in military leadership to strategic air power the author hopes that this book would not only serve as a ready reckoner for middle level leaders like Flight Commanders and Commanding Officers, but also as meaningful feedback for senior leadership. In fact, the diverse range of subjects with a 'people and leadership flavour' makes the book cut across service barriers; making it relevant to all walks of life.

Soft cover. Zustand: New. The armed forces have played a key role in protecting India's sovereignty and raising its stature as a stable democracy and responsible regional power. Though the nation's soldiers, sailors and airmen occupy a special place in people's hearts, standard narratives of contemporary Indian history rarely cover the military dimension. In his first book, India's Wars: A Military History, 1947-1971, Arjun Subramaniam attempted to set this right by taking readers on a journey until the liberation of Bangladesh in 1971. Full Spectrum: India's Wars, 1972-2020 takes the story forward. It is a sweeping account of war and conflict in contemporary India over the past five decades. Covering every major operation that the armed forces have participated in - including the Kargil conflict of 1999, insurgencies in the north-east, terrorism and proxy wars in Jammu and Kashmir, separatist violence in Punjab, the IPKF intervention in Sri Lanka, and the continued stress along the LoC and LAC - it fuses the strategic, operational, tactical and human dimensions of war and conflict into a racy narrative that reflects their changing character in modern times. As deeply researched and passionately written as the previous volume, this is a befitting sequel that brings up to date a unique endeavour to offer a fresh take on independent India's history.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Shooting Straight is the gripping biography of a skilful soldier and an outstanding leader from the Indian Army-Lt Gen Rostum Kaikhushru Nanavatty. It recounts the adventures of a decorated and accomplished infantry officer who saw action in Nagaland, Sri Lanka, Siachen and Baramulla; it also tells the story of a military leader who was known for his operational acumen, his intellectual brilliance and his ability to speak 'truth to power'. Meticulously researched and objectively written by Arjun Subramaniam, an accomplished military historian, Shooting Straight offers a close look at soldiering, command and leadership in turbulent times. Stretching across five decades-from the 1960s to the 2000s-the book offers insights into several avatars of contemporary warfare. These include counterinsurgency and counter-terrorist operations, operations by Special Forces, high-altitude operations and 'No War No Peace' contingencies. Finally, the book offers a sweeping landscape of the Indian Army from the perspective of one of its most respected commanders in recent times. For anyone interested in India's military history, Shooting Straight is a must-read.

Soft cover. Zustand: New. From a serving air force officer, an account of the wars India has fought The armed forces play a key role in protecting India and occupy a special place in people's hearts. Yet, standard accounts of contemporary Indian history rarely have a military dimension. In India's Wars, serving Air Vice Marshal Arjun Subramaniam, who has a Ph.D in Defence and Strategic Studies, seeks to give India's military exploits their rightful place in history. Beginning with a snapshot of the growth of the armed forces, he provides detailed accounts of the conflicts from Independence to 1971: the first India-Pakistan war of 1947-48, the liberation of Hyderabad and Junagadh, the campaign to evict the Portuguese from Goa in 1961, and the full-blown wars against China and Pakistan.At the same time, India's Wars is much more than a record of events. It is a tribute to the valour of the men and women in olive green, white and blue in the hope that it reaches out to a large audience, specially the youth. It highlights ways to improve the synergy between the three services, as too emphasizes the need to declassify material about national security. Laced with veterans' exhilarating experiences in combat operations, India's Wars fuses the strategic, operational, tactical and human dimensions of war with great finesse. Deeply researched and passionately written, it unfolds with surprising ease and offers a fresh perspective on independent India's history.

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. 1st Edition. National Security involves multiple stakeholders working synergistically in a volatile and ambiguous security environment. In such a scenario, defence officers must develop multiple skill-sets to remain effective. Wider Horizon by Air Vice Marshal Arjun Subramaniam (Retd) is a commendable effort in pursuit of this larger objective. His passion for academic pursuit and research in areas related to military history and national security is praiseworthy. Arun Jaitley, Minister of Defence, India Written with candour and clarity, Wider Horizons is a collection of published and unpublished articles and papers written by the author between 2012-2017 while still in service. Covering a truly astounding range of issues from national security, strategic culture, the India-China conundrum, air power, leadership, flight safety and surprisingly, a set of family travelogues, the book offers a peek into the restless mind of a fighter pilot-scholar. It is also a valuable contribution to understanding India's armed forces better and hopefully, would bridge some of the existing gap that exist between the services and strategic policy makers.
