| book description |

This absorbing study describes and illustrates the Indian Army forces that fought in five wars during the second half of the 20th century. The Indian Army is the worldâ€™s largest volunteer army, with an enviable history and tradition of valour and gallantry. It was involved in warfare soon after Indiaâ€™s independence and has fought five wars between 1947 and 1999, notably against Pakistan (1947â€“48, 1965, 1971 and 1999) but also against China (1962). Besides these, the Indian Army has been involved in smaller internal conflicts and counter-insurgency operations, some of which continue. The Indian Army has also carried out two military interventions overseas, namely in the Maldives (1988) and in Sri Lanka (1987â€“90). The troops who fought in these operations, culminating in 1999â€™s Kargil War against Pakistan, are described and illustrated in this book, written by an Indian Army veteran. The Indian Armyâ€™s evolving uniforms, insignia and personal equipment are depicted in photographs, some previously unpublished, and eight plates of original colour artwork. The book is an important contribution to our understanding of the Indian Armyâ€™s contribution to global military history since Independence in 1947.
