CONDITION USED GOOD, HIMALAYAN BLUNDER , ( THE CURTAIN- RAISER TO THE SINO-INDIAN WAR OF 1962 )HARDCOVER, 1969

“Himalayan Blunder” by Brigadier John Dalvi is a powerful and deeply reflective account of the 1962 Sino-Indian war, particularly the catastrophic defeat in NEFA. Written by a frontline commander who was taken prisoner and held in captivity for seven months, the book explores the flawed political and military decisions that led to the debacle. Dalvi combines first-hand experience with thoughtful analysis, avoiding bitterness while holding key figures accountable. His work is not just a critique of past failures, but a passionate plea to learn from them to prevent history from repeating itself
