In a space of 12 days in February 2019, the world saw a new India—not afraid to hunt down its tormentors hiding in another country. Author Manan Bhatt takes you through every single detail of the two epochal events in recent Indian history—the Pulwama terror attack and the subsequent Balakot Air-Strike—in this gripping, riveting, yet sensitively told account. From the moments before the ill-fated CRPF bus was hit, to the cockpits from where precision bombs were triggered, and everything that transpired in those 12 momentous, expectation-filled days—find every single detail in the book. The best of the planes, the best of pilots, the top-most officials, the groundsmen—all met, planned, visualized war-room scenarios, spent sleepless nights before, finally, striking hard and precise deep behind the enemy line. Follow our braveheart ‘Abhi’, the man in Mig 21 Bison, who had the audacity to down the famed F-16, and also the sagacity, grit and determination to stone-wall questions from the enemy. Know how he endured torture, including waterboarding, but left his interrogators disappointed, while being aware that his family was at risk. A racy thriller, adrenalin-pushing action, and a story that makes your patriotism brim over, while also filling you with a sense of gratitude and pride towards the men in Sky Blue.
