Kargil

From Surprise to Victory

De: General V.P. Malik

Narrado por: Siddhanta Pinto

The definitive account of the 1999 Kargil war - the strategy, the effects, the heroism - from the man in charge.

In February 1999, Pakistani Army personnel, disguised as jehadi militants, infiltrated mountainous Kargil and occupied key vantage points. Their intrusion triggered off a limited war between the world's newest nuclear states. It was a bitter battle, and one that throws up important lessons for India's defence preparedness, as also its responses to flare-ups such as this. This book is also a reminder of the unparalleled heroism that was on display during those grim weeks, heroism that has become a benchmark for bravery.

enthralling

fighting in the Himalayas is no joke and the way all our armed forces won everything back is inspiring to know.
better to read than to listen to because of the heavily loaded geographical references which need a map to understand. great story, and great performance by Siddhant!

Story is great . performance is weak

Overall book and story is great. Performance need improvement. Performance is more robotic without understanding what is being said. R&AW is RAW and not “R and AW”. Names of Indian origins/ cities are not correctly pronounced. At the end of the day, this is show as content is already present. These kind of shortcomings reduce the impact.

Great story

Great storyline. The sequence of events and very easy to follow. It was fascinating to know about Indian Army’s operational procedures.
