Soft cover. Zustand: New. "On the night of February 15, 1942, the second most stunning event of the Second World War took place; an event that was second only to the Pearl Harbour bombing for its shock effect. Singapore fell to the Japanese." Captured after the fall of Singapore in 1942, Capt. M.M. "Mark" Pillai, a decorated officer of the Bombay Sappers, confronted a truth few could endure: the greatest danger of captivity was not barbed wire or starvation, but the slow erosion of hope. Driven by the conviction that a prisoner's highest duty was to escape, he and two fellow Indian companions embarked on a daring journey to freedom. With little more than determination, a handful of dollars, and the kindness of strangers, they crossed enemy-occupied territories, traversing across Malaya, Siam, and Burma―all while battling hunger, disease, and unforgiving terrain. 3000 Miles to Freedom is a compelling account, simply told and un-embellished. Drawn from Brig. M.M. Pillai's wartime diaries and memoirs, this is the extraordinary true story of courage, resilience, and an unbreakable desire to return home. …

Soft cover. Zustand: New. Capt. Kamal Bakshi fought in the 1971 Indo-Pak War and went missing after the Battle of Chhamb--the bloodiest battle of 1971. Although no one from his battalion had seen him get killed, no one had been able to locate his body. And so, the military declared him 'Missing, Believed Killed'--the ambiguous status assigned to soldiers when their death cannot be confirmed. However, six years after the war, the Indian government changed its mind. The Ministry of External Affairs announced in Parliament that Indian intelligence agencies have reason to believe that Pakistan had not been truthful when it handed over the list of Indian POWs in its custody. It went on to state the names of at least forty Indian soldiers still believed to be in Pakistani custody and one of the names was Kamal Bakshi's. This book has been written by his nephew Shivalik Bakshi. It is his story, recreated from his letters, diaries, recollections of those who crossed paths with him and published accounts of the Battle of Chhamb. …

Soft cover. Zustand: New. Unlike traditional biographies of combat leaders, which focus primarily on military operations or regimental histories, in this book Major General V.K. Singh concentrates on personal accounts, anecdotes and reminiscences in order to highlight these leaders' personalities, and to draw out the human face behind the military facade. Through the stories of these twelve military leaders, the book also throws new light on several historical events and the role of political leaders during India's fight for independence and the partitioning of the subcontinent. He gives an overview of India's military history after independence, including major operations, and describes many hitherto unknown or little-known incidents concerning smaller operations like Nathu La in 1967 and Goa in 1962. Written records tend to glorify the actions of battalions as well as individuals, Singh says, magnifying achievements while suppressing the mistakes and glossing over failures. Leadership in the Indian Army provides a truer picture of the strength of character and convictions of each of these leaders. A must-read for anyone interested in India's military history. …

Hardcover. Zustand: New. On the morning of 8 December 2021, India's Chief of Defence Staff, General Bipin Rawat, and his wife, Madhulika, said goodbye to their daughter, Tarini, and dogs, and left their Delhi home to board a flight for Sulur in Tamil Nadu. Around 11.48 a.m., they boarded an Mi-17 V5 helicopter that took off from Sulur to Wellington, where Gen. Rawat was to deliver a lecture at the Defence Services Staff College. Just a few minutes away from its destination, the chopper crashed, and all fourteen passengers onboard eventually perished. It was a sudden and shocking end to the life of a man who had risen like a meteor in the defence forces. Bipin: The Man behind the Uniform is the story of the NDA cadet who was relegated in the third term for not being able to do a mandatory jump into the swimming pool; of the young Second Lieutenant who was tricked into losing his ID card at the Amritsar railway station by a 5/11 Gorkha Rifles officer posing as his sahayak; of the Major with a leg in plaster who was carried up to his company post on the Pakistan border because he insisted on joining his men for Dusshera celebrations under direct enemy observation; of the Army Chief who decided India would retaliate immediately and openly to every act of cross-border terrorism; of the Chief of Defence Staff who was happiest dancing the jhamre with his Gorkha troops. Written by bestselling author Rachna Bisht Rawat and featuring in-depth interviews with Bipin Rawat's friends, family members and comrades, this book is a befitting tribute to one of India's greatest and most controversial Generals.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. A definitive account of India s decisive military response to Pakistan-backed terrorism told by Lt Gen K.J.S. Dhillon, one of India s most respected Army commanders. On 22 April 2025, the Baisaran Valley in Pahalgam, south Kashmir, witnessed a horrifying attack when heavily armed terrorists from the Resistance Front, a proxy of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), fully sponsored by the Pakistan Army and Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), shattered its serenity with gunfire, killing twenty-six innocent individuals and injuring several others. The victims included newlyweds, elderly parents and solo trekkers. A Hindu professor narrowly escaped death by reciting the kalma, a Christian sacrificed his life to save his family and a local Muslim was killed while saving others. This was an attempt to rupture India s religious harmony and create widespread outrage in the country. India chose to respond to this incident, which shook not just the nation but the world, with Operation SINDOOR, showcasing its military modernization and might. The mission targeted terror camps, including the ones in Bahawalpur and Muridke, linked to Jaish-e-Mohammed and LeT, respectively, and terrorist launch pads in Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir. India s response demonstrated military professionalism, technological maturity and diplomatic sagacity, ensuring regional stability while delivering a powerful message against Pakistan and its terror factory. This book carries minute details and a blow-by-blow account of the Four-Day War between two hostile nuclear powers. The author underscores the intelligent use of media and social media in the battle of narratives, discusses the new normal and emerging rules of engagement, and suggests a way forward. Offering hitherto unrevealed information, Lt Gen. Tiny Dhillon (Retd) opens a window to Operation SINDOOR, a testament to the strength of the Indian military and the unity of India when confronted with an adverse situation. With visuals from the destroyed target areas, this book is a powerful reminder of the impact of terrorism and the enduring hope for peace and justice. Operation SINDOOR is a must-read for everyone.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. '. . . for only men with courage and a sense of patriotism join the Armed Forces'. That is what General Satyawant Mallanah Shrinagesh wrote to his son Satish as he contemplated a career in the army. As one of the earliest chiefs of the army staff of newly independent India, he truly believed that no services or association in India provides a greater measure of unity or a finer example of nationalism than the armed forces. Witnessing the transition of the Indian Army from a colonial to a national one, he was steadfast in his belief that a free India needed a strong army to defend it. He was instrumental in modernizing the Indian Army as we know it today, and broke the myth that Indians were incapable of strong military leadership. As Corps Commander of Jammu & Kashmir during the 1947-48 War with Pakistan, he was the first to introduce tanks at Zoji La to overcome well-entrenched Pakistani defences at such heights. From missions abroad and senior appointments in the Army to becoming Chief of Army Staff, and later, the first ever military officer to be appointed as governor of a state, Assam, Andhra Pradesh and Mysore (now Karnataka), this recounts in vivid detail the life of a man who led a distinguished career of service to the nation. Based on notes left by the late General and preserved by the family, is an exhaustive and inspirational account of an extraordinary soldier who would become one of India's greatest generals. …
