Descriptionof The Indian Army at War 1947–99
Manufacturer

The Indian Army is the largest standing army in the world, with an enviable history and tradition of valour and chivalry. It was involved in wars shortly after India's independence and fought five wars between 1947 and 1999, notably against Pakistan (194748, 1965, 1971 and 1999), but also against China (1962). The Indian army was also involved in smaller internal conflicts and counterinsurgency operations, some of which are still ongoing. The Indian army has also carried out two military interventions abroad, in the Maldives (1988) and Sri Lanka (1987-90). The troops involved in these operations, which culminated in the 1999 Kargil War against Pakistan, are described and illustrated in this book, written by a veteran of the Indian army. The evolving uniforms, insignia and personal equipment of the Indian Army are shown in photographs, some previously unpublished, and eight plates of colour artwork. The book is an important contribution to our understanding of the Indian Army's contribution to global military history since independence in 1947.
