संवाद # 142: Did India REALLY Win the 1965 War against Pakistan? Shiv Kunal Verma

Описание: Having set the benchmark in the 1990s for films on all the three services, Shiv Kunal Verma has had a unique ringside view of matters military. His coverage of the Kargil War and the films on the National Defence Academy (The Standard Bearers) and the Indian Military Academy (The Making of a Warrior) are considered classics. His illustrated books include Tamil Nadu and the highly acclaimed work—The Northeast Trilogy—which has also been published as a large format book. The Long Road to Siachen: The Question Why and 1962: The War That Wasn’t are considered among the most authoritative works in the Indian military history genre.

In this episode we discuss in detail his book '1965: A Western Sunrise - India's War With Pakistan'. You can order your copy here: https://www.amazon.in/1965-WESTERN-Sh...
