India's military conflicts and diplomacy : an inside view of decision making
Material type: TextPublication details: Noida Harper collins 2013Description: xvii, 300 pages : illustrations, mapsISBN: 9789351160830Subject(s): Military policy | IndiaDDC classification: 355.033554 Summary: A book on India's defence and military diplomacy from a Chief of the Indian Army General V.P. Malik, Chief of the Indian Army from 1 October 1997 to 30 September 2000, writes about his experiences in the field and important strategic events in which he was involved during his service. He has focused on decision-making processes that were followed at the political and military strategic levels as well as at the operational level. In India, such important decisions are seldom recorded in detail-almost never made public. Hence it is difficult to analyse these events in perspective, or learn lessons from them for future generations. The problem gets exaggerated for the armed forces. Despite the important national security roles envisaged and expected from them, they are seldom in the loop at the planning level. And when included in the loop, only a handful of senior officers are privy to the ministerial interactions and decision-making. In India's Military Conflicts and Diplomacy the author tries to address problems arising from such practices. He writes about defence and military diplomacy and provides a historical as well as futuristic perspective on India's higher defence management.Item type | Current library | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode |
