✅ Summary

Himalayan Blunder: The Curtain-Raiser to the Sino-Indian War of 1962 by Brigadier John Dalvi is a critical first-hand account of the Indian Army's unpreparedness and strategic failures during the Sino-Indian War of 1962. The book exposes political mismanagement, inadequate military planning, and poor leadership that led to India's defeat. Dalvi, who was a senior officer in the conflict, provides a detailed analysis of the events leading to the war, the ill-equipped state of the Indian troops, and the flawed decision-making at both military and political levels. The book is a candid critique, highlighting lessons to avoid similar blunders in the future.
