Slender was the Thread:: Kashmir Confrontation, 1947 -48

This book authored by the 161 Brigade Commander Lt Gen Bogey Sen tells you what the true meaning of courage is. As he was himself in the war zone his detailed analysis of the war takes you straight to the war zone with some background analysis in the beginning. Overall a must read and if you are a defense aspirant like me then this book is mandatory for you. Fast-paced and thrilling that's all I can say about the book. 😄

Must read for all indians

The packaging needs to improve...the cover page was torn off at more than one place which is disheartening as a book lover . ...the book otherwise is a delight to read for someone who is interested in the insight of the confrontation from ground zero...

It's an informative book which consists of events of India's war in Kashmir valley during the tumultuous years of 1947-48. It provides in-depth coverage of fightback by Indian Army in challenging circumstances despite having limitations in war-fighting infrastructure and acute shortage of manpower.

Extraordinarily fast paced exciting!! What begs attention is what might happened if the author had been there till the end...

Must read book about the most forgotten chapter in India s Military history

Every Indian must read this. This books shows the valour of the INDIAN ARMY.I am still surprised that SRK has not noticed this book to make a movie.

It gives the best account of battle fought by Independent Indian armed forces against Pakistan backed tribesmen in 1947 -1948. WIthin short span of time, with limited resources the Army fought valiantly and hence Kashmir was saved. Not only Kashmir but people, culture was saved. The book written by Lt Gen Sen who commanded 161Infantry regiment gives detail account till ceasefire and the following repercussions. Everybody must read it. If you need the book you can contact me after reading return to me ,[email protected]

Great and historically informative book about what really happened between India and Pakistan immediately after the partition of into two independent dominions in 1947. As you begin reading, you automatically become a Lieutenant General, traversing the battlefield and planning important operations until the very end of the book, where you will never be the same civilian again. The book will always be in my library for future reference.

The account by the Indian Military Commander who is was there in the thick of it.This involved on paper small number of forces when compared to the massive scale of the Second World War, but still fast paced, and with far fewer resources. It was a short but a desperate conflict.A country split suddenly into, with bloodshed and chaos in the two newly born countries, disrupted unit cohesion due to mass repatriation and non-availabilty weapons, sudden declared neutraility of British Officers and even as interferring British Officers were placed in High Command, fighting against soldiers who were in the same Army a moment ago, the author tells it in his stride and honesty.
