THE WRITING ON THE WALL : India Checkmates America 2017 $25.00
by Faiz Hakim Date Added: Friday 01 February, 2008
I am sorry to say but this book is just not worth the cost of the paper it is written on. I can see the problem with our military already. If people like the author are its leaders then we are living in a world of fantasy and God save us if we ever actually have to face a the Superpower. First the writing style is weird. The author devises a construct, a group of friends through whose eyes we initially see the problem facing us. Then this group simply vanishes/disbands and we never hear from them as a group! Weird. But what is a lot worse is the much talked about confrontation with the Superpower. It is not really a confrontation but instead it is a schoolyard fracas between a bully and a kid who stands up to the bully and makes the bully back down! Pathetic! Obviously General Sahib has no idea that when the US steps in against a military power of our reputation, not a Guerilla Force as it is facing in Iraq and Afghanistan, it shall use overwhelming force and will not simply try to bloody our noses and will then definitely not stand back and wait for our response. For instance do you think to confront India they will fire one Tomahawk Missile and wait for its impact before firing others. There will likely be a rain of these missiles. Would they send in naval aircrafts and not lead with F-22s, B-2s, and Joint Strike Aircrafts instead given that they know we have SU30s and good radars, etc? If we are truly going to prepare to counter this Massive Gorilla which could possibly one day confront us, then we need to be much better prepared than this General imagines. And once the battle begins we better be prepared to have an opening gambit, a middle game and an end game. The chances that everything would work in our favor and nothing will go right for the US is not something we can rest our hopes on. This idea has disaster written all over it. The only good thing about the book is to look at it from the point of view that we would have to be lucky in a laundry list of areas to win this confrontation according to the author. I hope our current military leaders are wider awake than this General. I think General Sahib would do better as a script writer for Bollywood Movies.
