Book Summary
A General Reminisces: A Life Under Fire traces Lt Gen. Satish Dua’s forty-year engagement with Kashmir—from the early 1980s through 2018—watching the social, political, security, and religious landscape change before his eyes. A compelling non-fiction memoir and military history, it speaks to readers curious about conflict, leadership, and the human dimension of border life. Written for adults and readers interested in security studies, contemporary history, and courageous personal narratives, the book carries a measured, thoughtful, and hopeful tone that honors resilience and sacrifice.
In A General Reminisces, the narrative unfolds as a memoir stitched with historical context. The book presents events in a clear, chronological arc—from line-of-control tensions to counter-terrorism responses—and shows how the Indian Army evolved in response to militancy. Nazir Wani’s arc across Ikhwan and Territorial Army is interwoven as a human face of the broader story, illustrating how courage, discipline, and tough choices shape a region and its people.
Readers will feel the immediacy of life along the Line of Control, the challenges of bureaucratic and military decision-making, and the weight of leadership in war and peace. The writing blends personal recollections with strategic insights, revealing how programs like Rashtriya Rifles and Ikhwan sought to rehabilitate youth and establish a path from extremism to service. The journey toward Nazir Wani, his operations, and his sacrifice, reads as a beacon of change that the author hopes for in Kashmir and beyond.
After finishing A General Reminisces, readers gain a nuanced understanding of Kashmir’s complexities and the human cost of conflict. The book leaves them with a sense of hope, respect for soldiers and civilians alike, and a clearer view of leadership, resilience, and the possibility of transformation even in the toughest circumstances.
