“Despite all technological advancements and the digital revolution, military leadership still remains the ultimate adjudicator on the modern battlefield. ‘Men of Steel #Military Leadership for India’, is a collection of very high value essays by renowned authors and co-edited by two very distinguished military leaders, who have epitomized leadership at the tactical, operational and strategic levels.

When India is beset with formidable challenges, it’s the Armed Forces who keep India safe, and their performance is to a large extent dependent on the military leadership that steers the organization in peace and leads it in war. I strongly commend this book not only for the uniformed fraternity, but even those outside the uniform, whose core calling is leadership.”

“Over the last two decades, the character of warfare has changed dramatically—with conflicts visible on television screens—and thus the room for errors in judgement has been greatly reduced. Therefore, the demands on military leaders—at the tactical, operational and for a select even at a strategic level—has increased manifold. How the military prepares its leaders for the future, and could learn lessons from its past, is explained in this rare and insightful collection of essays by experienced practitioners and observers. It deserves tobe read widely, as it has lessons for us all.”
