How Indira Gandhi blunted threats from US & China before Bangladesh liberation
Abstract
The Lightning Campaign by Major General DK Palit is perhaps the very first book on the Indo-Pakistan War of 1971 written and published as early as January 1972, within less than two months of the culmination of the war which, inarguably, was not only India’s greatest military victory ever, but also the one that changed forever the geopolitics of the subcontinent.
