Reasons as per Chavan recording If we fail and I cannot even imagine of it the Nation fails. How a Division Commander bolted from the theatre of operation. How the Army Commander sacrificed over 300 men for the Greater Glory of his Regiment. Why the Indian army did not march into Lahore. Occasions when the Army Chief almost lost his nerve. How the Defence Minister the Army and Air Chiefs worked as team. How PM kept his cool and emerged as a great leader in war. Was it a futile war. Did India lose in Tashkent what was won on battlefields. Finally how the political leadership re established its proper relationship with the defence forces leadership and wiped out bitter memories of the 1962 India China War. The book is a tribute to the IAF that was deployed in war for the first time after the independence. Also to India's armoured regiments that fought valiantly and destroyed myth of superiority of the Pattons. 142 pp.
