ABOUT THE BOOK

Today, whenever decorated officer Vishwas Nangre Patil recalls the
memories of Diwali from his childhood days, the sounds of the
firecrackers often transform into the deafening grenade blasts from
the night of 26/11. It was his grit, cultivated over the years from the
neck-breaking labour of studying for the UPSC exams, that had enabled
him to power on and gun down the terrorists inside an aflame Taj Hotel
during the 2008 Mumbai attacks.

Head Held High, translated from the Marathi Mann Mein Hai Vishwas, is
an account of IPS officer Vishwas Nangre Patil's life-from his humble
background, through school, college, long hours of studying for the UPSC
examinations to the final selection for the IPS cadre and, eventually, his
role in the counterterrorist operations during the Mumbai attacks. This
nostalgic and authentic account of the most formative and challenging
years of his life is sure to strike a chord with the thousands who aspire to
join the ranks of the Indian Civil Services.
