While depicting the intrepid life of fighter pilots in active combat, the book also has an introspective side where it portrays the soldier's reactions to the terrifying realities of war. The experiences of prisoners of war are finely drawn, as we share the emotions of war-death, alienation, loneliness and grief. Through heart-warming anecdotes and conversational passages of interactions with Pakistani interrogators, attendants, jailors and civilians, the book juxtaposes the metaphor of physical battles in the sky with the conflict of minds between two nations. 606 $aPolitical science$zIndia 607 $aIndia 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPolitical science 676 $a320.50954 700 $aJafa$b Dhirendra S$g(Dhirendra Singh),$0988923 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910467869903321 996 $aMrityu Kashtdayee Na Thi$92261434 997 $aUNINA
