About The Book

On the fiftieth anniversary of the 1971 Indo-Pak war revisit its battlefields through stories of bravehearts from the army navy and air force who fought for a cause that meant more to them than their own lives. Why do the Gorkha soldiers of 4/5 GR attack a heavily defended enemy post with just naked khukris in their hands?. Does Pakistan find out the real identity of the young pilot who after having ejected from a burning plane calls himself Flt Lt Mansoor Ali Khan?. What awaits the naval diver who cuts made-in-India labels off his clothes and crosses into East Pakistan with a machine gun slung across his back?. Why is a twenty-one-year-old Sikh paratrooper being taught to jump off a stool in a deserted hangar at Dum Dum airport with a Packet aircraft waiting nearby?. 1971 is a deeply researched collection of true stories of extraordinary human grit and courage that shows you a side to war that few military histories do.
