CONTENTS
DESCRIPTION
Though a good deal has been written - mostly in self justification - the action of military forces in the North-East Frontier region of India during Sino-Indian War in 1962 are still neither well-known nor well-understood. The tragedy is that Kameng was one sector where Indians could have defeated the Chinese, or at least given them a bloody nose, if only there had been a great general and a few good brigadiers on the Indian side to seize the opportunity. This book aims to analyse the Indian psyche and the failure of the Command, by focussing on the 1962 war in the overall historical context.
