How did a young officer motivate his brave Rajput men to capture Tololing?

Why did an officer from Nagaland remove his boots at the height of 16,000 feet?

What role did ‘the army wife’ play to ensure success in battle?

In the summer of 1999, a few 20-something-year-old soldiers, who had just completed their training, went on to become household names in the country. Their valour and bravery is etched in the memory of the nation.

Hear the complete Kargil story, with a glimpse into the five crucial battles–Tololing, Tiger Hill, Three Pimples, Pt. 4875 and Khalubar–that turned the course of the Kargil War in favour of India.

Witness the camaraderie that exists between a young jawan and his officer when the going gets tough during battle. With direct inputs from more than a hundred heroes who were a part of the war, hear never-heard-before anecdotes from the battlefield of Kargil.

Very well narrated and presented the real stories of our Indian Army. This also warns us that every war winning has to pay a very high price. wars should be avoided till it comes to the sovereignity and integrity of the country.

Motivating and Encouraging

From the very start its clear that the author glosses over any mistakes or losses on the Indian side, and fills the minutes with constant hero worship of the brave soldiers of the Indian Army. He starts the story by explaining wars fought by the Indian army since independence. He covers the Sino-Indian war of 1962 as a fight to the last man (a single battle in L&K) but omits the much larger pull back in the eastern states, that defines the war. As a result its hard to judge the accuracy of the entire account.

Disappointingly biased.
