About the Book: Through the eyes of an Artillery Commander, Artillery’s Thunder: The Untold Kargil Story provides a rare, firsthand account of the 1999 Kargil War. The book details how India’s powerful Bofors FH-77B howitzers, firing over 290,000 shells, were instrumental in reclaiming strategic peaks like Tololing and Tiger Hill, ultimately turning the tide of the conflict. Beyond celebrating the coordination and bravery of the Indian armed forces, the book serves as a powerful reminder of the ongoing fragility of peace along the Line of Control, drawing a connection between the past conflict and recent events like the 2025 Pahalgam attack and India’s subsequent Operation SINDOOR. It is a tribute to the soldiers who fought on the world’s highest battlefield, blending historical heroism with present-day urgency.
