Publisher's Synopsis
I had great expectations from this book since 1994 when I heard about this book from some family friends in Lahore. Major general Khadim Raja, the autor died in 1999 and this book was published in 2013 or so. I finally read it in 2014 and was deeply disappointed. What I saw was a total white wash narrative of a highly complex event of military history. The author conveniently scape goats Yahya Khan and Niazi and offers zero military analysis. He finds nothing bad in Pakistani strategy or planning but just two typical victims to blame ! His knowledge about the formation 14 Division that e commanded for two years is so poor that he states that 14 Divisions integral tank regiment 29 Cavalry had PT 76 tanks while in reality 29 Cavalry had M 24 Chafee Tanks !
