Review Quotes:
"At the end of the book there is a commentary on the colour plates, with detailed descriptions of each of the three different uniforms found on all of the 8 pages. Written by an Indian Army veteran there is a lot in the text which I had not known before, though for me, as a modeller, then the uniform illustrations which are such a key part of the Men-at-Arms series will be a significant attraction." --Military Model Scene
"Readers interested in the development of the modern Indian army will find this book a useful primer" --Neil Smith "Colonel Mandeep Singh has produced the most accurate, succinct, clear, readable and balanced account of the post-Independence Indian Army that I have seen." --Military History Society Bulletin
