Despatches from Kargil: War From the Frontline

The Kargil war in the summer of 1999 was a tale of brutality and courage. Here was war in its essence: barren, icy peaks held by a strongly entrenched enemy, and the only way to dislodge the intruders was to climb up in the face of overwhelming firing. By the end of the war, many more heroes were added to the list of the nation's brave: Saurav Kalia, Vijayant Thapar, Yogendra Singh Yadav, Mariappan Sarvanan and Vikram Batra, to name only a few. Their heroic exploits in this harrowing battle read like the stuff of legends.

This is war reportage at its best: observant, objective and, ultimately, for all the wry understatement, extremely moving

    'If I don't inform the platoon commander (about the presence of the enemy), he will be overrun, I thought. And all because of me. I was wounded. I couldn't walk. I must have been hit about fifteen times, in the leg, the chest, the groin and arm..

    I began crawling down...'
