About the book

As India becomes a regional and global superpower, its armed forces will be expected to conduct more missions inside foreign countries, like they have in the past. Using never-before-seen secret military reports and eyewitness testimonies of the men on the ground, former armyman and journalist Sushant Singh reconstructs three forgotten Indian operations overseas: in the Maldives, Sri Lanka and Sierra Leone. These action-packed true stories shed light not just on a previously untold slice of Indian history but also the exceptional bravery of Indian soldiers fighting against all odds.
