      <Abstract>The military and non-military demeanour adopted by the People’s Republic of China since the mid-2000s has insinuated the threat of ‘compromising with territorial sovereignty’, whether through military coercion in the East and South China Sea, the Indo-Tibetan border escalations or the steady engulfment of the Indian Ocean Region. Lt. Gen. Banerjee provides a detailed account of these issues, using maps to illustrate China__ampersandsign#39;s territorial claims along the Sino-Indian borders, covering the eastern, central, and western sectors. While the internal workings and capabilities of the People__ampersandsign#39;s Liberation Army (PLA) remain largely shrouded in secrecy — often referred to as the __ampersandsign#39;Red Curtain__ampersandsign#39; — Banerjee makes a commendable effort in this book to compile years of observation and expertise as a military practitioner to highlight the growing strength of the Chinese military. The book thoroughly discusses the possibility of another Sino-Indian war and explores the likelihood of events reminiscent of the 1962 conflict. It examines how China pursues its territorial ambitions and assesses India__ampersandsign#39;s military capabilities to respond to these challenges.</Abstract>
