Shooting Straight: A Military Biography Of Lt Gen Rostum K Nanavatty (Hb) - Hardback is a riveting portrait of one of India’s most respected infantry officers, tracing a five-decade journey from the 1960s through the 2000s. A meticulous military biography, it invites readers who are curious about Indian Army history, leadership under pressure, and the human dimensions of command. The tone blends respect, education, and a sense of awe at perseverance and strategic insight, making it a meaningful read for adult history enthusiasts and military students alike.
Authored by Arjun Subramaniam, a noted military historian, Shooting Straight moves through the major theaters of Nanavatty’s life—from Nagaland to Sri Lanka, Siachen, and Baramulla. The narrative balances vivid battlefield accounts with thoughtful analysis of leadership decisions, tactical innovation, and operational acumen. The book is structured to reveal how warfare evolves while staying firmly rooted in the personal experiences and decisions of a commander who navigated counterinsurgency, counterterrorist operations, and high-altitude challenges. Readers will find the storytelling engaging, the pacing steady, and the insights—about command, strategy, and the realities of service—clear and accessible.
