The Battle of Chhamb, 1971, was a ferocious, no-holds barred battle fought by 5 Assam Regiment. The book describes the three days and nights of intense battle in great detail, and what stands out is the capacity of our soldiers to absorb the worst the enemy can throw at us and to hold our ground at all costs. Akhnoor is still with us, and each and every man who fought the Battle of Chhamb, 1971, deserves our utmost respect.
