Autorenporträt
Major General Mrinal Suman, AVSM, VSM, PhD was the Task Force Commander at Pokharan and was responsible for designing and sinking shafts for the nuclear tests. For that, he was duly decorated by the President of India. Later, he commanded an Engineer Regiment in the most hostile battlefield in the world, i.e. the Siachen Glacier.He is considered to be India's foremost expert on myriad aspects of India's defence procurement regime, offsets and FDI in defence. He is regularly invited to address various Indian chambers, associations and foreign industrial delegations. He is a prolific writer and has published more than 560 papers in different journals and newspapers; many have been translated into foreign languages. This is General Suman's tenth book. His earlier books deal with issues confronting the Indian armed forces; tardy procurement process; controversies afflicting major defence contracts; growing anti-nationalism in India; service in the olive green; digging of shafts for the nuclear tests; and the challenges facing the defence industry in India.
