Too many acronymns also spoil the interest in reading. Jan 20, Shyam Sunder rated it it was amazing. The best chapter was the one on medical personnel and how they stand shoulder to shoulder with their fellow countrymen. A few issues as well beypnd the book has 2 maps of the region, one zoomed in and one zoomed out.
The most gripping chapter in soachen book is on Operation Rajeev. This book is worth reading just for those stories.
A bunch of colourful mesmerizing pictures sprinkled generously througout the book only add to the experience. Shows the courage and great sacrifice of the Indian army. A must read for anyone wanting to know more about the Siachen.
It is best to read this book as a collection of stories about Siachen. Nitin has covered beyons great valor of the men who were in the action right from Operation Meghdoot till the ceasefire.
