Product Description
by Maj Gen Ian Cardozo (Author)
Cartoos Saab is the story of how a young boy becomes an officer of the Indian Army, how he experiences a life of responsibility, adventure and challenges and how he handles the disability of losing a leg in battle. It reveals the feelings of a soldier who is left behind after the army emerged victorious in a savage war that focused on speed of operations with decisive outcomes before external powers could come to the rescue of the enemy. Although this is his journey through more than three decades of life in the military and his own experiences of three wars, his story could well be the story of many other officers of the Indian Army who lived through those challenging times. This true story of grit and commitment takes the reader through the myriad twists and turns that soldiers face in their lives and how they take the most testing situations in their stride. It is a life of courage, effort and determination that embodies the spirit of never giving up, which is ultimately the message of this book.
