The book is about fourteen magnificent true stories of valor displayed by the brave-hearts of Indian armed forces. These stories soaked in blood and sweat, have become legends and will inspire the generation of warriors in times to come. As is truly said that bravery comes in different shades, the book has put-forth such tales meticulously, in an awe-inspiring manner to inspire its readers. The heroism displayed by warriors in demanding times is fervently matched by their respective family members and colleagues, that have been ingeniously and yet with simplicity narrated by the authors. The behind the scene stories compiled by authors has the captivating ability and makes the reader glued to the book without blinking. It is futile to go into individual stories but will add that they are well-written and relatively easy to comprehend and feel proud.
India is in a state of perpetual war since independence and Indian armed forces are always in a state of high alert. It is the hard work and supreme sacrifices of our brave-hearts that grant the citizenry a sense of normalcy and calm. This book isn't just about the valor of brave-hearts but also one can fathom the logistical, political and humanitarian aspects of military functioning. This book has a compilation of stories catering to different domains, some fil your heart with pride, some with respect while others leave you teary-eyed. The book is a truly remarkable experience to read and is a perfect blend of high decibel militarily action on the ground against terrorists (within and outside India) and humanitarian efforts(relief and rescue) carried out by Indian forces against all odds. This book is engrossing and has been an eye-opener for me, the legacy left behind by stalwarts will serve as an inspiration for Indians. It will make one realize that this freedom comes at a cost and safeguarding the values of it should be our tribute to the sacrifices made by men/women in the Armed forces.
