    War Despatches: Indo-Pakistan Conflict, 1965

    The conflict was short and limited, packed with intense activity, major movement, heavy
    fighting, and crucial decisions. The initiative rested with Pakistan to commence hostilities, which
    they did with a mix of irregular and regular troops and tactics. This is a story of anticipation, of
    impending actions, of virtual equality of forces engaged in a savage battle of attrition in which
    no quarter was given or asked. The author provided an unflappable presence under whose
    command the army imposed unacceptable levels of losses on the enemy, first toning down their
    rhetoric, then their confidence, and last their ability to sustain very high levels of material losses.
    There is very little material or records to draw upon for our military studies of warfare in and
    around the Indian subcontinent. War Despatches narrates, for the first time, the inside story
    through original dispatches by the army commander from the war zone. To maintain the
    authenticity of the dispatches, the military style of writing has been followed in the text as far as
    possible.
