Snow Leopards of Gurez
The Prisoner and the Spy Who Exposed Pakistan's Kargil Plot
Set against the 1999 Kargil War, this account traces how the capture of a Pakistani soldier in the remote Gurez Valley exposed the true nature of the intrusion across the Line of Control. Woven through it is the lesser-known story of officers who, months earlier and on the strength of a single unverified warning, chose to hold forward mountain posts through a brutal winter — a decision that would help shape the course of the war.
