The Pakistani Army achieved a tactical surprise, but failed at the Strategic level. The outbreak of war at Kargil also revealed that the Pakistani political leadership was out of synch with the thinking and planning of the country's military top brass. The author analyses the reasoning behind the Pakistani Army moves and tactics and also focuses on the individuals responsible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis incisive volume uncovers several new details and attempts to answer all crucial questions such as : What was the extent of intelligence and surveillance failure of the Indian side and why? What was the rationale for India's grand strategy of restraint despite being a victim of aggression? What was India's military strategy and how was the war managed? How were the battles in various sectors planned and executed to recapture the strategically important high altitude mountaintops? What was the international response to the aggression due to the nuclear factor and what was the role-played by the USA and China? What was the impact of the war on Pakistan and India? What are the lessons to be learnt fro Kargil on the military, political and diplomatic fronts?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe rounds off the book with a survey of Indo-Pak security relations in the Post-Kargil era. In this context he takes stock of the Peace dialogue and its sustainability given the fact that Pakistan's military rulers have yet to shun terrorism as an instrument\\ of state policy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003e About the Author:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe was the Chief of the Army Staff from 1 October 1997 to 30 September 2000.
