Operation Jinnah by Shiv Aroor
5.0
This book entered my "Want to read" category the day I saw it on the author's Twitter Profile (His other book has as well).
"Operation Jinnah" the perfect title to attract any Indian reader's attention.
A Military Thriller, with the story revolving around an Indian Naval Chief's life - Personal & as an officer & his 3 hand picked Special Forces comprising of all the 3 genders. Action from the 1st scene itself; one mission, its repercussions, which again leads to another mission, the perfect tactics for "the big picture" allowing another mission - all against terrorism & thrilling at each phase.
The author has beautifully showcased the baggage that Military Officers carry in their personal lives, due to professional decisions. It also depicts, how these people always manage to think of the bigger picture rather than, just getting done with the current problem. The explanations of military weapons is done subtly.
Brief & apt introduction of each character except that of the asset, about whom not much is said.
As, mentioned in the title, a girl is kidnapped in Kashmir, the part where the actual rescue mission starts is when u just can't put the book down. Truly satiating when it comes to what the Indian Armed Forces can & will do, in dire times!!
Overall, a must read!!
