Erected in just about a year, it has since changed the security dynamics of the erstwhile Jammu and Kashmir state. 'Operation Khukri' gives a gripping account of the rescue of 222 Indian peacekeepers in Sierra Leone. He also examines in detail different perspectives of Operation Parakram. As the author of the cold start doctrine, General Vij masterfully discusses doctrinal issues such as jointness, integration and theaterisation, all of which are of major concern today. These reflect the ability of the Indian armed forces to learn from good and bad experiences and emerge even stronger.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eAlone in the Ring\u003c\/span\u003e is a timely and significant book in a world of uncertainty with an ever-changing geopolitical landscape, where understanding the dynamics of decision-making is crucial for policy makers, military leaders, civil society and academics alike.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-size-large celwidget\"\u003eIt Is Published By : \u003cspan\u003eBloomsbury Publishing\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Akshardhara Book Gallery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50966542025026,"sku":"9789356409514","price":585.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/1214\/9058\/files\/139AloneInTheRing-F.jpg?v=1751533389","url":"https:\/\/akshardhara.com\/products\/alone-in-the-ring-decision-making-in-critical-times","provider":"Akshardhara Book Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
