So it is with this gripping on-scene account of the controversial operation carried out, at Government's request, by the Indian Peacekeeping Force during 1987 and 1988 in Sri Lanka.  Who better to write it than the Overall Force Commander of the IPKF himself !\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe general lay-out of Sri Lanka and its many people neatly sets the scene for the drama behind this attempt to quell the rigid LTTE's greater excesses. Indeed, one may learn much of the secret methods of the dreaded LTTE in training, motivation to fanatic level, and most particularly in explosives handling by their members.  Even the character of the elusive LTTE leader known as \"The Green Pimpernel\", is exposed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith facts put in their proper perspective, and mistakes freely admitted, this readable account clears many misconceptions about the situation prevalent in Sri Lanka leading up to and during those two years.  Junior leaders are given their chance, in this fascinating book, to explain how they coped with insurgency there.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe way all the different branches of the Armed Forces worked together to ameliorate Sri Lankan conditions is clearly brought out in the final chapter of the book. Ending with reflections, culled from IPKF experiences among others, on Higher Direction of War, Intelligence , Training, Morale Maintenance particularly in hostile environments, Public Relations, Defense Research and Development, the great authority with which this book had been penned is confirmed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAltogether a most rewarding reading experience for anybody with an enquiring mind, whether in the Armed Forces or not.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eForeword\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Land and the People\u003cbr\u003eGenesis of the Ethnic Strife\u003cbr\u003ePlanning and Induction\u003cbr\u003eThe Early Days\u003cbr\u003eSouring of Relations\u003cbr\u003eCapture of Affine\u003cbr\u003eInsurgency\u003cbr\u003eA Road-Block\u003cbr\u003eArms and Services\u003cbr\u003eLittle Ieds\u003cbr\u003eReflections\u003cbr\u003eAfter Thoughts\u003cbr\u003eAppendices\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The India Club","offers":[{"title":"Depinder Singh \/ Natraj Publishers \/ Hardcover","offer_id":68153603096944,"sku":"9658","price":32.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/5203\/9792\/files\/9658.jpg?v=1793911510","url":"https:\/\/marketcalvexa.shop\/products\/indian-peacekeeping-force-in-sri-lanka","provider":"Alderstone House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
