About the Book

This eclectic panorama of articles and speeches rendered in India and abroad, by one of the most respected and articulate Chiefs that the Indian Navy has had, provides unique and incisive insights on a wide range of subjects. Gleaned from his considerable repertoire, this selection touches on issues such as Maritime Power, Defence Finance and Planning, Shipbuilding, Defence R&D, Higher Defence Management, Jointmanship, and others. All these subjects are of immense contemporary significance and concern. They offer as much to the inquisitive uninitiated as to Servicemen and hard-nosed defence analysts eager for a first-hand version of matters relating to national security.
