Mandeep Singh is a colonel in the Indian Army with over 35 years in uniform. He commanded his regiment during operations against Pakistan and later along the Line of Actual Control. The author of seven books, he has been awarded the Chair of Excellence twice by the United Service Institution of India. Raffaele Ruggeri was born in Bologna where he still works and lives. He has long been interested in military history and has illustrated a number of books for Osprey.
At the end of the book there is a commentary on the colour plates, with detailed descriptions of each of the three different uniforms found on all of the 8 pages. Written by an Indian Army veteran there is a lot in the text which I had not known before, though for me, as a modeller, then the uniform illustrations which are such a key part of the Men-at-Arms series will be a significant attraction. * Military Model Scene * Readers interested in the development of the modern Indian army will find this book a useful primer * Neil Smith *
