Reviews

"Campaign maps and 34 photographs compliment Neville's narration. Action paintings and 'bird's eye' views metaphorically drop readers amidst Takur Ghar fighting. And a bibliography and index conclude this informative effort. Highly recommended!" --David L. Veres, www.cybermodeler.com (June 2013)
