Surprise Attack: From Pearl Harbor to 9/11 to Benghazi (Hardcover; INR 1675) is a compilation of major events that took the system by surprise and created shocks across the globe.
This book is the first of the series by the same title (but different sub-titles) that aims to bring to fore certain anecdotes and experiences as narrated by those who were there and who witnessed such events unfolding in front of their own eyes during Indo-Pak War 1971. That is the closest one can get to the truth of a battlefield engagement. Have we been able to achieve 100% accuracy? We can’t say! But we are sanguine that all such accounts are as close to the truth as possible. The contributors, all in senior age brackets by now, are free from the limitations that get imposed both by the service regulations and impact of events that may have happened in the recent past. They are well beyond such inducements. This book is the first one in the series of four books on the stories from 1971 war.
Remembered Glory Vol 4 (Paperback; INR 399) is the fourth book in the series by the same title (and different subtitles)-a collection of stories about the action of our Special Forces during 1971. The book, in addition to Para Commando Battalions as in existence in 1971, also throws light on the untold action by the Special Frontier Force (SFF).
Was it her fault that she became her soldier’s widow? Does it matter whether he was a battle casualty or a physical casualty? No. Death matters!! Her husband’s death matters. But only to her. For everyone else she is either a trophy to be used at glamorous patriotic events or a money minting machine in the name of a trust or an NGO. And she is soon forgotten. Her pain, her trauma, her problems are no one’s business. It’s her battle and her battle alone. A battle she must win, for herself, for her children and for the supreme sacrifice of her husband. Shouldn’t we as a nation support her in this battle of hers or should we just disown her, like we do? Or was it really her fault that she became her soldier’s widow?
