Rambo - A breath of fresh air in the military literature.
Rambo is a military biography with a touch of difference. This book contains no esoteric military lingos or dull descriptions of rank, regiment or machine. The author has instead brilliantly used his creativity to make it more palatable to a wider audience, civilian or otherwise. With it’s gripping and lucid narration the book packs a punch. It has drama, love, pain, humour, adventure - all rolled into one, all the while remaining true to the essence of what Major Sudhir Walia exemplified. The words are simple yet vivid enough to carry the readers to the place of action. One feels like being a fly on the wall while the incidents unfold in real time before their eyes. The book talks about special forces operations that may not be found anywhere else. The narration will always keep you on the edge of your seats. Another unique feature of the book is that it gives a 360 degree perspective of the events covered in it. The geopolitical decisions, the turmoil of the region, the emotions of locals and soldiers alike are weaved beautifully into the book. All in an easy-to-understand language that doesn’t overwhelm the readers. The author needs to be specially appreciated for keeping a balance in the book. Amidst all the action and thrill he has not forgotten to remind us time and again that every Rambo is at the end of the day a human, just like any of us. He gives us glimpses into the “chinks in the armour” – the longing to be loved, his struggles, his weaknesses, the pain of parting ways with someone. Quiet thoughtfully the book also talks about the equally brave and daring men he operated with. He takes us into their world of camaraderie, brotherhood and honour. The men who walked beside him into hell, honouring the unwavering trust he reposed in them which provided him the opportunity to operate like a Rambo. I highly recommend this book to everyone especially the youngsters who are looking for some real special forces thriller. This book is a breath of fresh air among the military genre in many ways. I bet you won’t regret picking it up. Happy Reading.

Brings out field ops in front of you
After middle of the book, felt racy and brought the field operations in front of our eyes. The letter type chapters alone is a detractor at times. Otherwise, a great book to realize the hardships, courage, passion and bonhomie shared by our officers at the front.

What a book!
Your book Rambo is more than just a tribute; it's an emotional, intense, and powerfully written account that takes us deep into the world of Para SF. From Maj Sudhir Walia's steely resolve during counter-insurgency operations to his unmatched courage under fire, Rambo brings alive the spirit of a man who redefined bravery. The narrative not only captures Maj. Sudhir’s tactical brilliance and raw grit, but also the brotherhood, ethos, and silent sacrifices that define a Para SF operator’s life. Thank you, Sir, for documenting a hero's journey with such depth and authenticity. It's a must-read for every Indian who wishes to understand what true valor looks like. 🙏💂♂️📘

There’s no doubt about the bravery of Major Sudhir Walia. From a writing perspective, I think the storylines could’ve been better. The narration felt forced. Too forced describing details that weren’t necessary. Would’ve loved to read a lot more about our Rambo. A good effort nonetheless. Glory be to shahid Major Sudhir and glory be to India.
