The India-Pakistan War of 1965 (হার্ডকভার)

Summary Of The Book

The India-Pakistan war of 1965, is sometimes also referred to as the Second war of Kashmir. It was the end result of a series of cross-border skirmishes, which highlighted the rising tensions between both nations. The trigger point of this conflict was heralded by Pakistan, in an area called the Rann of Kutch, which is located in Gujarat. The conflict then moved to Kashmir, where ‘Operation Gibraltar’ was launched. The Indian government also adopted the ingenious strategy of making the Kashmir conflict known on an international level.

The India-Pakistan War Of 1965: A History, provides a detailed analysis of this cross border war. After official military history records from the Indian government became declassified in 2005, it was made publicly available through the publication of this book. These records contain sensitive information such as diaries that were recorded by individual units, formations made by the Indian Armed Forces, special notes written by officers who participated in the war, individual interviews, personal account from Generals who were involved, journals, reports, and gazetteers.
