Operation Cactus-Recalled is a compelling narrative shaped by invaluable guidance, candid reflections, and meticulous editing from distinguished military leaders, scholars, and mentors. With profound gratitude to Lt General Milan Lalitkumar Naidu, who painstakingly refined the manuscript and enriched its objectivity, the book also draws on the firsthand accounts of comrades who spearheaded the mission in Maldives. Expert editors and mentors lent their precision and insight, sharpening its language and depth. Above all, the author acknowledges the unwavering support of his wife, whose encouragement sustained him through long nights of writing. This book is both history and tribute.
