Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw: Soldiering with Dignity - Lt. Gen. Depinder Singh (2002)

Very few books have been written on war heroes of India. In that sense, this book is a good addition to let Indians know about one of the greatest soldiers of India who was instrumental in the win of a war with authority.The 1971 India-Pakistan war brought India to a military super power in the south Asian region and in the long run has changed the way the world has been looking at the country.

However, the book looks like a representation of street smartness of the Field Marshal than a serious account of life of the Field Marshal. Personally, I will not recommend this book unless someone wants to read about the Field Marshal as Indian history texts seldom talk about this celebrated soldier and his life.

Overall an average book.

First, Break All the Rules: What the World's Greatest Managers Do Differently - M. Buckingham and C. Cuffman (1999)

This book needs no introduction. This has been cited as one of the top 10 books in the management literature.

Rather than writing a commentary on this book, I will suggest people to go through the reviews on Amazon. If you have not read this book, I will suggest you read it as soon as possible.
