Overview

“Major Chadhas research is exhaustive, extensive and in-depth reading through this book was a learning experience” - Lt Gen (Retd) V K Sood Former Vice-Chief of Army Staff and Consulting Editor of Force “Remarkable both for its scholarly rigour and precision of research, Major Chadha’s book is innovative both in its analysis and in terms of description, nuances and prognosis” - Air Vice-Marshal (Retd) Kapil Kak The authoritative work by an Indian author about the practical analysis of the planning, preparation and principles of low intensity conflict (LIC) for junior leaders, this book deals in detail with the problems faced by a young officer on the verge of induction into an inhospitable area. The methodology to overcome this is dealt with and suitably supported by anecdotes and case studies. The author’s varied experience in insurgency gives a balance to the study and thus broadens its scope. Being the first history of LIC in India since independence, it analyzes the roots of conflict in a range of contexts. In the author's view, India's struggle for independence itself rates as the 20th century's most significant LIC. Subsequent conflicts have made India possibly the world's most complex and varied theatre of LICs. The aim, however, is to benefit junior leaders who are new to this form of warfare through practical solutions to real time problems and will hopefully help give LICs a degree of formality and the rightful place as an operation of war. About the Author Lt Col Vivek Chadha is presently at Army Headquarters, New Delhi.
