JAMMU:Following closely on the heels of the first book, ‘Against All Odds: The Naushera-Jhangar Battles 1947-48’, the next book in the series of books on the conflict, titled, ‘In the Nick of Time’: Saving Kashmir Valley 1947-48’, was released recently by the author, Colonel Ajay K Raina, SM.
The book, while focussing specifically on the operations in the Kashmir Valley, does cover the broader picture of the conflict since many other areas outside the Valley were also embroiled in a similar situation around those days. Crisp, fast paced and full of expalantory notes and sketches, the 330 pages, hardbound book looks and feels fascinating.
Many background issues, unusual anecdotes and some rare pictures of that era, make the work an invaluable one for those who love to read about the history, both military and political. With the period covered between 1820s and 1949, the book offers a wholesome package to the readers. Available at Amazon in both print and e-book forms, the book is also available as a paperback for the international circulation.
