Hardcover. Condition: New. It is easy to deal with an 'Unlawful Order'. How do you deal with a 'Lawful but an Awful Order'? This book builds a powerful narrative that constructive dissent, constructive disobedience, and positive defiance are positive tools for the long-term sustenance of an organisation. They are an extension of integrity, moral courage and value-based leadership. Covered in sixteen chapters, the book critically examines the theme in all its dimensions. Interesting case studies on the 'My Lai Massacre', General Mark Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, in dealing with a reckless US President in 20-21 and the India-China conflict highlight the complexities and the challenges involved. A critical analysis of the Indian bureaucracy compels serious introspection for overhaul. The wars in the last 100 years, mostly of choice and not necessity, meet the definition of 'Folly' and the 'Law of Stupidity'. The outcome was clear from the beginning, there were alternatives and warnings, and finally, they devastated humanity without bringing any good to the perpetrator. When civil institutional oversight fails or gets compromised, a country's military and civil society have a critical role to play. They must prevent descent into chaos. It was not the greed of a few corporate honchos but the compliance of many that destroyed flourishing corporates. It was not the obedience of millions of African Americans but the defiance of one black woman that ended racial segregation. It was the defiance of one Indian soldier in the 1857 mutiny that laid the foundation of the Indian freedom movement. Organisations have a natural affinity with oligarchy and exploitation. Constructive dissent and constructive disobedience ensure the long-term good of all stakeholders by preempting fatal decisions. An engrossing food for thought for an intellectual mind.…

Hardcover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. There is no career like the military. You will never be rich, but you will have what no money can buy; a magnificent company of people who simply live by different sets of values. Buddies who will give their life for the man next to him, who has no blood relationship, but whose unwritten commitment to each other is far stronger than the marriage vows of a couple. Written in his humoristic style, this book, Four Decades in Olive Greens: Pride, Passion and Perspectives is an interesting story of Maj General Anil Sengar, whose only ambition in life was to be a soldier for the love of the Olive Green uniform. He realised his potential early in life and rose above the ordinary by choosing to serve as a 'soldier of conscience' and stood by his values despite the challenges and risks throughout his service. The author's pride and passion as a soldier are clearly visible. He demonstrates that, notwithstanding the dynamics of an extremely competitive military career, it is possible to live by the highest military values and yet succeed as a soldier, while making it fun all the way. The book also gives an insider's view of the internal dynamics of the Army, that is not exactly flattering. It is laid out in two parts. Part 1 is the author's inspirational journey of accomplishing his goals through self-belief and surmounting odds. 'Do not just live-leave your trail' is a lesson in leadership as it demonstrates what can be achieved by selfless and value-based leadership. It contains his thought-provoking experiences, both pleasant and otherwise, and his so-successful command philosophy. Part 2 deals with the author's critical perspective on many sensitive issues that ail the Indian Army, which need immediate attention. These include aspects such as promotion policy, military professionalism, quality of senior leadership, awards and rewards and the dynamics of having women in the army. The Army today stands compromised on trust amongst the combat arms and between the services and the army leadership. The fact that officers in droves and across all ranks seek justice through the courts against the promotion policy, speaks of the trust deficit in the Army policies and the redressal system. The author`s critique is necessitated on the belief that the Army tends to remain in a state of inertia and rooted to the status quo unless nudged hard into action, even when the need for change is an operational imperative. Coming from one of its own, it is hoped that this book will trigger an introspection to honestly address issues which are eroding the basic fabric and foundation of this great institution and directly impacting its war fighting.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. The book is a compilation of humorous real life stories from various aspects of military life in the Indian Army. Spanning 452 pages, with illustrations, the book is laid out in five parts. It includes excerpts from the first letter written by Field Marshal KM Cariappa, OBE, the first Indian Chief, to all officers of the Indian Army after independence, which is, amazingly, as relevant today more than six decades later. Experiences of Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw, MC, have been recounted that make a fascinating reading. The book brings to life, the tough yet exciting life of cadets in the National Defence Academy and the Indian Military Academy, as it happens. It covers fascinating incidents from all facets of life in the army, and from the author`s personal experience in the UN mission and foreign mission where he served as the Defence Attaché. The foreword has been written by Shri Mani Shankar Aiyar, Honourable Member of Parliament (Rajya Sabha). He has an emotional connection with the army, as his father-in-law made the supreme sacrifice in Burma during the Second World War as a young officer. As a career diplomat, he has friends from many armies and understands the services well. The book is not simply a collection of anecdotes. It reflects the pride and the spirit of Indian soldiers. It also explains, as it goes along, the values and the ethos of various institutions that form our army. The book will be a nostalgic journey down memory lane. All soldiers will strike an immediate chord. The young men planning to don the `Olive Green` will find it motivating. The civilian readers too will find this book extremely captivating and get an insight into the Army way of life through these real life stories, packaged with a fine sense of military humour. The book guarantees you cheer and smile, the army way.…

Hardcover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. Command assignments are the most cherished part of an officer`s career. Yet, they seem to have become stepping stones for career progression rather than a calling to be cherished and leave a legacy. Today officers assume the command of the units with inadequate regimental experience, as reflected in the number of untoward incidents in many units in the recent past. One took place in the author's division where the commanding officer abdicated command and left his unit in a state of anarchy. This book is the author's perspective on unit command, based on his wide experience and his command philosophy driven by passion, commitment and fearlessness. The book covers a wide range of important issues that a commanding officer has to deal with in war and peace. The author has emphasised that battalion command is all about leadership, and while the army order can appoint one a commanding officer, no order can appoint anyone a leader. That is a moral position which has to be earned through character, competence and personal example. This revised edition has addressed additional aspects such as emotional quotient, human quotient, officer-men relationship, directive style of command, leading from the front etc. as they apply to a commanding officer. The author emphasises the point that the raison d'etre for the unit's existence is to fight and win in war, thus, all activities of the unit must be oriented towards that. The book crystal gazes into the command challenges in future that cover a wide spectrum from human resource to the changing character of warfare and their implications for a commanding officer. The book highlights the immense responsibilities that a commanding officer shoulders, and therefore, the need for him to know his job thoroughly, to be fearless and selfless in command. The author believes that the single most important battle-winning factor is the 'Human Quotient' which needs to be nurtured through top-quality leadership top-down. Based on his experiences, practical recommendations on meaningful training, leadership development and operational effectiveness have been discussed. The author has listed the caveats that he followed as a commanding officer that made his command so special, distinctive and inspirational. They should be a Bible for any passionate commanding officer who wishes to leave his mark as a leader of substance. A must read for officers of all ranks.…
