With opening essays by two former Chiefs: Gen V.P. Malik, on strategic perspectives in the Kargil War and Admiral Sunil Lanba, on the evolution of Indian naval strategies since independence, Air Marshal Anil Khosla presents a similar grand sweep of the Air Force. Analyses of Surgical Strikes, Operation Parakaram, Cold Start, Gray Zone Warfare, Theaterisation, China, Pakistan, Emerging World Order, R&D, and other topics of current interest follow.

The collective wisdom in this book is an exciting read for officers, students of military strategy, and enthusiasts. The Gyan Chakra Think Tank inculcates the art of strategic thinking in our future leaders, and this book is a step in that direction.
