🙂 ). In that he tries to imagine and perceive things from his point to view. And I have to give credit to him, being a simplistic in nature is unable to understand the happenings around him, yet rightly so attributes this to political failure being given a military solution. There’s much talk of the war and how it unfolded before his very eyes, of losing friends, of staying away from family, of deceit , murders and survival. The author has been prisoner of war in India, after 1971 and was one of 195 officers from Pakistan who were going to be tried for war crimes. He talks of his experience while in captivity, of his religious beliefs, the hard and demanding circumstances, of failed escape plans, of rationed meals, and finally freedom. Each event is elucidated in detail. The book is based on his daily diaries which he wrote while in captivity. This books gives an insight in to actual combat as experienced by an officer on ground instead of the mumbo jumbo, by the senior officers who mostly have tried to absolve themselves from the whole saga.
