520 $aAhmed provides a fascinating firsthand account of a battle fought in 1971 at Hussainiwala in former West Pakistan. He describes the unfolding chain of events that led up to the Battle in the Hussainiwala and provides intricate details of the battle, along with its plans. What makes this battle particularly noteworthy is that it was fought against the backdrop of the larger military defeat and debacle of East Pakistan. Ahmed takes us behind the scenes, leaving us wiser and more appreciative of how unyielding troops could help defend a nation and protect its future.
