The first in-depth examination of the fascinating and virtually unknown of armor and weapons from Tibet, dating from the 13th to the 20th century.

The spread of Buddism and Tibetan secular power throughout the Himalayas led to a distinctive style of fortifications not found anywhere else. This book looks at Himalayan fortifications, from their creation in the Middle Ages to their destruction and capture by the Chinese in the 20th century.

In the first comprehensive history of Himalayan mountaineering in 50 years, the authors offer detailed, original accounts of the most significant climbs since the 1890s, and they compellingly evoke the social and cultural worlds that gave rise to those expeditions.

This book entails how a child of the mountain becomes the timeless sentinel, gaurding the frontiers all his life and becoming an eternal name of summits etched with Indian Army’s spirit. With all our combined ability and might, we have endeavored to articulate the remarkable life journey of Colonel Chhewang Rinchen, MVC, and Bar, SM, the distinguished veteran of the Indian Army who faced four wars with pride since India's independence. Through meticulous research and heartfelt storytelling, we have portrayed Colonel Rinchen’s selfless deeds through anecdotes not only as fearless warrior but also as compassionate leader who consistently prioritized the well-being of their fellow soldiers and community. His exceptional courage and unwavering piousness towards his duty were exemplified by his dual Mahar Vir Chakra and numerous other honours. Apparently, it also solidifies his place as one of India's most celebrated military heroes. The narrative is a tribute to Colonel Rinchen's enduring legacy—a testament to his indomitable spirit, glorious sacrifices, and persistent commitment to serve the nation. After three and a half years of dedicated effort, we are proud to share the inspirational story with you all, hoping it will serve as a beacon of courage and integrity for generations to come.

In the gripping sequel to "Summit of Shadows," Ayush Agarwal invites readers once again into the heart of the Warriors of the Himalayas series with "Frozen Valor." Set against the brutal backdrop of an Arctic winter, this installment catapults the elite soldiers into a realm of specialized cold-weather training and a resurgence of old adversaries.
