Himalayan Blunder was an extremely controversial war memoir penned by Brigadier John Dalvi.It dealt with the causes, consequences and aftermath of the Sino-Indian War of 1962, that ended in Chinese People's Liberation Army inflicting a defeat on India.

A rather heavy read with lots of military jargon and terminologies which makes it sometimes difficult to understand. However it does point to the collective failures of Civilian and the Military apparatus in averting the War which caused national humiliation in 1962.

The dressing down of 'demi-gods' like Nehru and V.K Menon by the author exposes the propaganda that is dished out for Nehru being a statesman and a strategic thinker. The complacent approach of Nehru in mindlessly trusting the Chinese and unabashed nepotism in appointing top military brass (appointing BM Kaul as Chief of General Staff despite having no experience in actual warfare) shows the inadequacy of national leadership at that time and is well documented in the book. What makes a nation great? The book provides a beautiful answer to the question above. Our humble army men, doing a thankless job, without ration, ammunition,boots or winter clothing, defending few useless pieces of logs and redeeming the follies of few spineless, arrogant men with their blood, sacrificed themselves fighting valiantly for the honour of the country. JP Dalvi rightly asks what more can a nation ask of its soldiers. Not many of those who sacrificed their lives are remembered by the people today.

1962 is a distant memory. I bow my head in respect to our great martyrs. Sadly, India is not out of woods yet. 51 years after the 1962 'Blunder', our foreign policies,economic policies and defense policies are out of sync with each other and of the ground realities. In 2010, Government of India refused to make public the Henderson-Brooks-Bhagat committee report regarding the 1962 'Blunder'. I am lucky that I chanced upon the book. Reading it has been a turbulent journey through the emotions of heart.

I am really grateful that the book helped me change my notions of a leader by explaining what exactly a leader should not be. The only thing I found amiss from the book was some references to the military terms which should have been provided in an appendix. Some maps( pre and post 1914 McMohan Line Indian Maps,Tibetian maps and Chinese maps) would also greatly enhance the understanding of the whole saga. Overall, thank you Mr. May your soul rest in peace. Extremely repetitive content.

I have complete trust on what J P Dalvi says but the tone is so negative and harsh. This is true that the Dalvi was implicated and made a scapegoat in this whole episode and his frustrations and pain flow on pages of the book. How to use unknown cs go skin installer. Still I believe he could have gone a bit soft.

Plus the Chinese side of story doesn't come out that well in this one. I have started with Neil Maxwell's 'India's China war' and that is good so far. I have my respect for the gallantry and resolve of J P Dalvi. But still that question is not answered, why didn't he resigned at first place where as in the book he asks why others (of higher posts) didn't resign:-). Still a good one to read and have at shelves.
