Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw: The Man and His Times
Description
Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw was the Chief of the Indian Army from 1969 to 1973. This book is a reflection on Sam, his character traits, sense of humor, moral and professional courage and the enigma that made up his personality. It presents a unique insight to his thinking and his style of dealing with a spectrum of situations from the sublime to the mundane. Above all, it portrays his humility, his honesty and his respect for men in uniform, regardless of rank. The book is anecdotal and an easy read as it walks you through his life from childhood to the pinnacle of glory. The political canvas, woven lightly into this very personal story, highlights how a brilliant military strategist shaped the destiny of the Indian subcontinent. Family photographs, copies of citations, handwritten notes and personal correspondence make this book a treasure to read and acquire.

THE FIELD MARSHAL AND THE MAN
An extremely informative book of a very interesting soldier who made it to the very top of his profession. The many facets of his life in peace and war make fascinating reading and his quirky personality endeared him to everyone he met.

An inspiring and enjoyable book about a remarkable leader and soldier
The authors have provided a wonderful insight into an extraordinary soldier and leader who was clearly much loved and respected throughout the Indian Army โ and the nation. I found the many stories in the book fascinating, not only those about the remarkable Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw but also the descriptions of events and influences in India during more than four decades after the Second World War. Well worth purchasing, especially since a major portion of the royalties are donated to the War Wounded Foundation and the War Widowsโ Associations of India.

Loved it!
The book is a very interesting read, I finished it over the weekend. It is a biography of the greatest Indian Military General, that offers invaluable leadership lessons without actually giving them. The man was an institution; the book documents the evidence. Very nicely written.

The Generous Gentleman of Indian Army
A perfect biography book of Fild Marshal Sam Manekshaw. I have never read about any army man before but this. One should read it to know the history maker and the reason of making of Bangladesh. We have a very good advantage because the writer himself was very close to Sam Bahadur. So we can get much more information about him and his smallest details of his personal life , professional life and Sam Bahadur as an individual personality and Sam Bahadur with the Behram Pathki. Amazing biography We can able to Go Back and live To Field Marshal 's life and Events by Behram Pathki and Zenobia Panthaki's words. Must read it will add something to you definitely.
