About The Book

When Dilip Parulkar, an Indian Air Force (IAF) flight lieutenant is shot down behind enemy lines in Pakistan on 10 December 1971, the ace flier quickly turns the tragedy into the biggest adventure of his life. On 13 August 1972, Parulkar along with Harish Sinhji and Malvinder Singh Grewal, escape from one of the prisoners of war (POW) camps in Rawalpindi. Four Miles to Freedom: Escape from a Pakistani POW Camp is their story. The book, based on interviews with the eight IAF pilots who helped in preparing the escape and two others who escaped, is a moving and often amusing account of how the twelve airmen from diverse ranks and background battle deprivation and cope with forced intimacy and a year of pervasive uncertainty in captivity. It's an encouraging narrative of how these bravehearts come together to support Parulkar's daring escape plan.

The drama which veins through the narrative of the book has an arresting impact on readers. The true grit and courage shown by the pilots during their confinement in hostile territory also warrants respect. The detailing of the opposition camps and their background has been brilliantly described. The book, while keeping its heart in the right place, lays focus on the operations and responsibilities of army officers on whose shoulders the security of our country rests. There's a map of the escape plan to help the reader to better understand the narrative. The book also comprises of several photographs of the soldiers, their team and their families.

Available in hardcover, Four Miles To Freedom: Escape From A Pakistani POW Camp is in its first edition and was published in December, 2013.
