This short account of his life cuts through the myths to make this enigmatic king and his times come vividly alive, as it takes us from his tumultuous youth, his bold military and diplomatic exploits, his family life, and his dramatic swings of fortune, to his death in his final climactic battle against the British.

Absent State The spiralling crisis in Jammu and Kashmir; the Naxalite-Maoist menace that seems to be intensifying with every passing day; the disturbing reach of proxy governments run by militant groups in Manipur and Nagaland today, a quarter of India is being held hostage by violence and anarchy. What has pushed our country to the edge? in a series of dispatches from the epicentres of what they call the countrys battle zones, Neelesh Misra and Rahul Pandita unveil the tensions, frustrations and challenges that are everyday realities in these troubled regions-from the widespread misappropriation of development funds in tribal and remote areas, to lack of education and rampant exploitation.

The Art of War is an enigmatic, ancient Chinese treatise prepared by Sun Tzu, an equally mysterious warrior-philosopher who served as a high-level military general and strategist. More than two thousand years old, it is a classic piece of work that reveals the otherwise rare and hidden military strategies and tactics based on Chinese warfare and military thought. The over-all focus remains on competition and conflict in general, on every level from the interpersonal to the international, which makes it viable for application in all aspects of modern life as well, including society, business, politics and human behavior. The book celebrates invincibility and unassailable strength in a true victor, through his understanding of the physics, politics, and psychology of conflict. The comprehensive translation by Giles, includes his extensive introduction, and the fully annotated text with explanatory notes and critical commentary, making the otherwise complicated text more accessible to the audience. The introduction is notable for its historical account of Sun Tzu's work, evaluations by and of early Chinese commentators, an essay examining the traditional Chinese attitudes toward war and a bibliography that details Giles' source materials.
- About the Author: A Chinese military general, philosopher and strategist, Sun Tzu is a historical figure. His work has been praised and employed throughout East Asia since its composition. During the twentieth century, The Art of War grew in popularity and saw practical use in Western society as well. It continues to influence many competitive endeavors in Asia, Europe, and America including culture, politics, business and sports, as well as modern warfare.
Their willingness to pay any price to uphold the honour and integrity of their Air Force meant an uphill battle against bigotry, difficult conditions of work and outdated equipment. However, showing tremendous fortitude, Harjinder and his men took the fight to the enemy and rose splendidly to the occasion. Be it the formidable Japanese, the mighty Germans or the resolute tribal warriors none could break the spirit of these airborne Indians. It is a story of relentless adventure, journeying from the scrublands of the North Western Frontier, to the jungles of Burma, to the UK on the eve of D Day and to the corridors of power in an independent India. The resourcefulness of the Indians and their sheer skill and determination meant that they could overcome the myriad of challenges thrown at them, much to the surprise and dismay of some officers of the Raj.
- It is a story of mutual respect forged and strengthened across lines of religion, caste, creed and race, as the Indian's undeniable courage and resilience won even the hearts and minds of their British counterparts and one man was the center of it all. Harjinder's is a life of intense friendship, of great ingenuity and of hard-work and dedication, interspersed with the humor and merriment that is ever present in the military environment. It was a bottom to top career for the lowly Hawai Sepoy who went on to become one of the top officers of the IAF. He is credited with the endeavor to make the Indian Air force self-reliant and designed, built and test flew two different aircraft to prove his point. He was one of the driving forces behind making the Indian Air Force the 4th largest in the world, an astonishing feat given the twin challenges of nation building and partition. Thus the only 'disgrace' to emerge from this book is how Harjinder's story could remain untold for so long.
- About the Author: Mike Edwards was the former RAF officer and British Airways Pilot. He is also involved in the resurrection of the IAF's vintage flight and flies the refurbished Tiger Moth and Harvard of the IAF. The exploites of these pionerring men, like Harjinder Singh was unknown till Mike Edwards wrote out this epic tale, using personal diaries, letters and other memorabilia kept safe by J R Nanda, whose uncle Air Commodore Amrit Saigal was Harjinder's Staff Officer.
