The Pulwama attacks galvanized the attention of India in 2019。 This book tells the story of investigation to connect it to the masterminds behind the attack。 There is also a dash of history of insurgency in Kashmir along with neatly articulated details of painful paths that had to be followed by Indian agencies that set forward to unravel the dots connecting the attacks to the masterminds。 Rahul Pandita's earlier book on Naxals had made me aware of how well he can write。 As such。 when this came The Pulwama attacks galvanized the attention of India in 2019。 This book tells the story of investigation to connect it to the masterminds behind the attack。 There is also a dash of history of insurgency in Kashmir along with neatly articulated details of painful paths that had to be followed by Indian agencies that set forward to unravel the dots connecting the attacks to the masterminds。 Rahul Pandita's earlier book on Naxals had made me aware of how well he can write。 As such。 when this came out on Juggernaut（ formerly Airtel Books）， I immediately grabbed this one via their Free Readers Club membership， and boy I wasn't disappointed。 This book is another ace up his sleeve， as he once again keeps the readers hooked right from the start with his crisp writing showcasing his acumen in geopolitical awareness of the Kashmir region。 。。。more
