About The Book
POW 1971 takes readers into the heart of the Indo-Pakistani War of December 1971, focusing on the lesser-known western front of Jammu and Kashmir. This gripping account, narrated by Major General Vijay Singh, recounts the heroic yet ill-fated battle of Daruchhian in the Poonch Sector. A strategic location, Daruchhian was the site of a fierce clash on the night of 13 December, resulting in heavy casualties and the capture of many Indian soldiers, including Brigadier (then Major) Hamir Singh, VrC.
The book offers an intimate, eyewitness perspective of the battle, the soldiers' courage, and the emotional toll of war. Major Singh's account dives into the human side of war, with soldiers enduring brutal conditions, enemies respecting each other's professionalism, and shared moments of sorrow that transcend national and religious boundaries. Through POW 1971, readers gain a profound understanding of war, valor, and humanity, all while exploring the deeply moving personal journey of those caught in the turmoil of battle.
