Gripping and very lively

The ability to vividly paint the picture with words is amazingly done by the author. I almost felt as if I reached the war zone through her words.
Ultimately I always believe that a good director and performer makes or breaks a good audible book.
kudos to both of them.

good book ruined by pathetic audio editing

storytelling of the auther is mesmerizing, however the reading and specially editing is not upto the mark. uneven and mechanical reading breaks the story flow.

Really bad audio editing, not so great reading

The content is great, but the rrading/narration is absolutely 'flat'.

Worst part is the audio editing. You can clearly notice audio clips being cut and put together, as the voice and pitch of the reader changes abruptly mid sentence.

Get a paperback or Kindle edition, or wait for someone else to read it.

Good book written after research on kargil heros

if someone is interested to know about the kinds of odds our real heroes faced during the kargil war and how did they overcome against those odds and saved our nation. this is the book which gives the sneak peek into their lives. after listening this book I feel that this war was won just by the courage of our soldiers only, nothing else. many of the times during listening the book, I was so emotionally overwhelmed, I couldn't stop my tears to flow.

Worth a listen!!

Tone and tenor of the author is the steal of this audio book. Albeit I expected a more detailed narration of our heros from Kargil war, whatever is included in this book hasn’t satiated my desire to know more and this book has provided me the impetus to read more on our Heroes!! Well done!!

Truly a tribute to our martyr

A good book. The storytelling is so nice that one often feels like accompanying the soldier on those chilly nights and watching everything happening in front of eyes. The narration by Kiran Multani is such a passionate that one can feel the pride she might be feeling while narrating this story. Salute to our martyr
