India's Most Fearless : True Stories of

Good read

This book is a moving collection of inspiring stories that showcase the courage, sacrifice, and unwavering dedication of soldiers. Each chapter gives you goosebumps, revealing the depth of selfless service these heroes offer for the nation. It's not just a book — it's a heartfelt tribute that stirs pride and gratitude. A must-buy for anyone who wants to truly understand the spirit and strength of our armed forces.

Extolling over many of the qualities that occupy the men/women of the Indian Armed Forces, the book presents many stories that have you squirming with horror, disbelief, but mostly imbues respect for the people mentioned. Military life traditionally has been galvanized and glorified to be the one where acts of honour and valour are ones performed at the face of the enemy, but seldom do people realise that the military life is such that it demands more from you at any and every time. Stories in this book are a testament to that belief, where soldiers have shown courage in and out of conflict. Being from an Army family, my reading of this book may have been more contextual that for a regular reader, so I am unable to pin point any major gaping holes in logic presented in the narration of events, should there be any. But, the authors seem to have done a pretty decent job in describing the events in as much lucidity as possible. I have heard many such stories, but it is always good to know a few more. One thing that I didn't really like though was how the initial few chapters sounded less like account of soldiers and their operations, rather much like paeans about the political leadership. This is where the book moves away from traditional military non fiction, for objectivity is a must in such narratives.

The Indian armed forces always stood as an epitome of courage, selflessness, patriotism and nation above all philosophy and each of the 14 heroes whose stories the authors covered in this book are a best example to this. The book comprises of heroic real-life stories of Indian defense men from the border. Each story talks about a military operation. The spirit of dedication is seen in the operation of Lance Naik Mohan Goswami who scrambled at short notice to execute an operation. While reading the book, and the stories of the men, one will surely stop at so many points just to gather their breaths. The book quite literally leaves one breathless at many points through all the stories shared. This book will take you in between the gun battles and make you realize what those martyred soldiers and many others go through every day. When we are even afraid of cockroaches & lizard, reading stories of these heroes who go to fierce gun battles putting their life at stakes will send chills through your spine. The surgical strike of Sept. 2016 is not so exhaustive in this book which is obvious because of classified operation. The stories are truly inspiring and shows the leadership skills of military leaders in counter insurgency operations. We need more storytellers like the authors to reach out towards it’s civilians and inform them that under what conditions these brave men fight for the Safety, honour and Welfare of our freedom. They are not fighting a personal war on the LOC leaving back their families and constantly performing the Act of Valour, come what may be the conditions the Tri-colour is hold high enough to let the World know that India is a "Land of Free and the Home of Braves." Over all, this book is easy to read and very well written with all necessary details, ‘India’s Most Fearless’ is a must read. Highly recommended. It’s a book that will make you proud long after you have read it. Book Title – 4/5 Book Cover – 5/5 Narration – 4.5/5 Language and Grammar – 4/5 Final Rating – 4.5/5

Every army aspirant should read this book, the paper quality is also top-notch, highly recommend.❤️

The book and the printing were so good

When we are carrying out our normal day to day affairs, drowned in our own business of life, there are thousands of our brothers who keep their life on the lines to ensure that we are safe from any foreign intruders. Serving in the Army, Navy and Air Force these bravest soldiers have demonstrated exemplary skills and courage to keep us safe. Whatever be the task at hand, at whatever time of the day, these bravest soldiers have sacrificed their sleep, food, shelter to meticulously complete their assignments. Their commitment level is beyond comparison. Sitting in our cozy rooms we can never comprehend the lives our soldiers lead. This book by the authors documents 14 such real-life encounters which happened in the recent past. The real incidents include events include as recent as the surgical attacks which happened couple of years ago and took the nation by storm for Indian armed forces bravery. Of these 14 incidents none is better than others and stay on equal footing. Each narration is bone chilling only makes us to stand and salute the bravest soldiers. What amazes me most is the commitment shown by the family of the soldiers in supporting the dream of their father, son or husband. They deserve even more respects and salutations from all of us as well. I am thankful to have read this book which passes high for both the narration and the real-life stories.
