What goes into the making of a hero? These stories of seven men from the army, navy and air force, as well as from a ‘phantom army’ that was one of the best-kept secrets of the 1971 India–Pakistan war, are gripping, sometimes heartbreaking, tales of incredible daring, tactical brilliance and unflinching courage, often in the face of certain death. They will thrill, move and inspire you from the first page to the last.
