The book narrates the operational performance of Pakistan’s 6 Armoured Division in the 1965 Indo-Pak war. Pakistan had inducted its Special Services Group personnel in J&K in August1965 to stir an uprising and later launched an offensive in the Chhamb Sector on 1 September 1965. India retaliated by launching an offensive across the Indo-Pak international border in the Lahore Sector on 6 September: India’s Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri had warned—retaliation at a place of its choice. As a part of this retaliation, India also launched an offensive in the Pathankot-Sialkot front; between ‘Aik’ Nullah and ‘Degh’ Nadi on the night of 7-8 September 1965. General Abrar Hussain was in command of the Division and has given a day-to-day account of Pakistan’s response in the Sialkot Sector. The day-to-day account is from 6 September 1965 onwards when the Division was ordered to move from Gujranwala to Pasrur. Indian forces, a corps of one armoured and three infantry/mountain divisions, crossed the international border during the night of 7-8 September in the Degh Nadi-Charwa area with its main thrust towards Philloura.
