Beyond Fear – True Stories on Life in the Indian Armed Forces By Ian Cardozo
Book of the Week
Within the pages of Major General Ian Cardozo’s book “Beyond Fear,” a tapestry of narratives unfolds, each weaving a tapestry of courage, honor, and resilience. From the chronicles of a third-generation soldier of the 1st Battalion, the 5th Gorkha Rifles (FF), who met his fate on the battlefield, to the eerie ghost tale shared by a Garhwal Rifles officer amidst the serenity of Lansdowne. Amid these accounts, the gripping retelling of the audacious air raid on Pakistan’s Sargodha airfield in 1965, orchestrated by Wing Commander O.P. Taneja, VrC, resounds with valor and determination.
These stories, while diverse, share a common thread—a testament that fear is a universal emotion. Yet, the true question is whether we confront it or evade its grasp. Through these thirteen chronicles, Major General Cardozo guides us into the minds of military personnel who have confronted fear head-on, a feat he dubs ‘biting the bullet.’
Embedded in these tales, he unravels the intricate web of honor, love, trust, courage, and loyalty that fortifies a soldier’s resolve to conquer fear. More than military anecdotes, these stories underscore the potential for these very virtues to empower readers in their own battles against fear in everyday life. As each tale unfolds, it becomes clear that reality’s twists can often surpass the realms of fiction, leaving us humbled by the human spirit’s boundless capacity to transcend trepidation.
