Ranks and Rosaries

In Ranks and Rosaries, Brigadier James chronicles his unparalleled 37-year journey with the Indian Army. His experiences range from momentous events like Prime Minister Indira Gandhi's assassination aftermath and the Bhopal gas tragedy. He provided vital engineering support to combat formations across the treacherous terrains of the country. Yet, amidst these tales of valour is his gripping fight against cancer - a battle as intense as any he faced on the front lines.

From the Foreword (English edition): "Ranks and Rosaries transcends the bounds of an autobiography, evolving into a poignant chronicle that amalgamates valiant leadership, tenacious love, undying hope, and deep faith, poised to touch the hearts of a global readership."
