Leadership in the Indian army : biographies of twelve soldiers

Spanning over 60 years of military leadership in India, this book brings to life the human side of twelve exceptional military leaders. It argues that written records tend to glorify the actions of battalions as well as individuals, magnifying achievements while suppressing the mistakes and glossing over failures.
