The conflict was short and limited, packed with intense activity, major movement, heavy fighting and crucial decisions. The initiative rested with Pakistan to commence hostilities, which they did with a mix of irregular and regular troops and tactics. This is a story of anticipation, of impending actions, of virtual equality of forces engaged in a savage battle of attrition in which no quarters were given or asked. The author, GOC-in-C Western Command during those fateful days provided an unflappable presence under whose command the Army imposed unacceptable levels of losses on the enemy, first toning down their rhetoric, then their confidence, and lastly their ability to sustain very high levels of material losses. There is very little material or records to draw upon for our military studies of warfare in and around the Indian subcontinent. War Despatches narrates for the first time the inside story through original despatches field by the Army Commander from the war zone. To maintain the authenticity of the Despatches, the military style of writing has been followed in the text as far as possible.

IBM Cloud Pak® for Data can be protected with IBM Spectrum FusionTM. This IBM Redpaper publication covers backing up IBM Cloud Pak for Data with a non-disruptive (online) backup and then restoring to an alternate cluster. During an online backup, normal runtime operations in the Cloud Pak for Data cluster continue while the backup completes. The backup process includes creating policies and automating backups in IBM Spectrum Fusion, then protecting Cloud Pak for Data, protecting IBM Spectrum Fusion namespace and the IBM Spectrum® Protect Plus (SPP) catalog. Backup and restore is supported from IBM Storage Fusion HCI to IBM Spectrum Fusion software as well as from IBM Storage Fusion Software to IBM Storage Fusion HCI. IBM Spectrum Fusion HCI and IBM Spectrum Fusion have become IBM Storage Fusion HCI System and IBM Storage Fusion. This edition uses the IBM Spectrum brand names and will be updated with the next edition. IBM Spectrum Fusion must be at 2.3 or higher with "Backup" service installed. If using IBM Storage Fusion 2.5.2, the "Backup (Legacy)" service should be used.
