In Quest of Freedom: The War of 1971 - Personal Accounts by Soldiers from India and Bangladesh de Maj Gen Maj Gen Ian Cardozo

In Quest of Freedom: The War of 1971 - Personal Accounts by Soldiers from India and Bangladesh

Maj Gen Maj Gen Ian Cardozo
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 10 mar 2016
The fate of nations during war depends on how well men fight, and these stories tell us how the Indian armed forces and the Mukti Bahini fought for the cause of freedom. Paradoxically, it is the value of 'Love' that was the motivating factor in this war of liberation - love for one's country, love for ones brothers in uniform, love for the people and love for freedom; for it is on the altar of love that men and women in uniform place their lives in the line of fire and are prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice, if need be, so that others may live.It is hoped that these stories inspire the youth of the country and motivate them to join the armed forces - a profession that has no equal.
