Detailed Solution
‘Kargil: Turning the Tide’ was written by Lt Gen Mohinder Puri.
The book presents an account of the operations of the Indian Army during the 1999 Kargil War. At that time, Mohinder Puri commanded the 8 Mountain Division.
The 8 Mountain Division was given the important responsibility of evicting the intruders from the Drass–Mushkoh Sector. Therefore, the book provides an account of the Kargil operations based on direct military experience.
The book describes Operation Vijay, the difficult high-altitude terrain of the Kargil region, military operations and major battles fought by Indian soldiers.
