Soft cover. Condition: New. In the summer of 1999, as the Kargil War raged across the Himalayas, a young Pakistani soldier was captured by an Indian Army patrol in the remote Gurez Valley. His capture exposed the true nature of the operation. The men crossing the Line of Control were not 'mujahideen' or 'freedom fighters'. They…were soldiers of the Pakistan Army. But the story of Kargil did not begin with gunfire. Months earlier, in a neglected sector of Kashmir, officers of the Snow Leopard Brigade faced a difficult choice. For years, both armies had vacated remote mountain posts during winter, trusting heavy snowfall, avalanches, and the unforgiving terrain to guard the frontier. Then came an unsettling warning from a deep source—fragmentary, unconfirmed, and impossible to verify. Something unusual was happening across the Line of Control. Acting on judgment rather than hard evidence, the brigade made a decision that defied convention. They reoccupied the mountain posts. Cut off by snow and with limited supplies, they endured months of bitter cold and uncertain whether. If nothing happened, their actions would invite criticism. If they were right, they might avert a crisis few saw coming. What followed was a story of courage, leadership, and institutional integrity. Long before the world heard the name Kargil, a handful of soldiers had begun a silent battle that would help determine the course of the war.

Soft cover. Condition: New. This work 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.

Without a single Pakistani soldier arriving at Gilgit, the territory was handed over to Pakistan by the British. Pakistanis, thereafter, went gunning for Ladakh where they were halted and eventu…ally pushed back. This is an all-inclusive account of war in High Himalayas during 1947-48.
