Military Musings by Rana T.S. Chhina

Founded in 1870, the United Service Institution of India (USI) is an extraordinary security and defence services think tank. Its journal, published quarterly since 1872, is the oldest defence journal in Asia and one of the most prestigious in the world. This anthology comprises articles from the USI Journal that span almost 150 years and shed light on a variety of topics pertaining to the development of military science and strategic thought in South Asia. With writings on subjects ranging from campaign studies, to reminiscences of soldiers in battle, to larger questions of defence policy, Military Musings is a rare and valuable addition to literature on India’s military thought and history.
