A book that explores 1965 war heroics

The war ended 56 years ago on this day
September 23 is a golden day in Indian military history when the Indian Army decisively won the 1965 war turning the defensive position into an offensive stance and hunting the hunters mercilessly.
The war on record is inconclusive though, as the Indian Army was asked to stand off when they were just 13 km away from Lahore with the ceasefire announced, but not before inflicting serious damages to Pakistan defence forces that were better equipped and better prepared, being the aggressors.
“The strategy of this battle is known world over and serves as a lesson plan for a lot of war colleges around the world, but we Indians do not know about it,” says Sonnia Singh, author of “The Turning Points 1965 War” that gives a refreshing insight into the war victories through short stories format and personal details.
