Kargil : from surprise to victory/ V P Malik - New Delhi : HarperCollins (India), 2006 - 448 p. : ill. (some col)
General Malik was Chief of Army Staff during the time of Pakistan's incursion into Jammu and Kashmir around Kargil. He presents not only the fierce fighting that took place at high altitudes but also analyses the military political failures in India which enabled Pakistan to achieve its initial surprise, how India then responded and ultimately emerged victorious. In doing so Malik also presents the wider picture including the international political dimensions involving for example the United States. This edition has a postscript which comments on General Pervez Musharraf's version of events as presented in his book "in the line of fire".
