The Hero of Tiger Hill is an autobiography written by Captain Yogendra Singh Yadav, a brave individual who received the prestigious Param Vir Chakra award. His journey from being a villager to becoming a soldier sheds light on the obstacles he encountered. His duty was to protect his nation and safeguard the interests of the war and crisis with great dedication.
The book is divided into three sections: Formative Years, From a civilian to a soldier, and the Kargil War. He discusses his humble childhood, his struggles and beautiful early days, as well as simple village life, in the first part (Formative years). As he reflects on his parents and elder brother, he remembers how they taught him and inspired him the most.
His journey from a civilian to a soldier is outlined in Part Two (From a civilian to a soldier). As a result of the rigorous and enriching training he underwent, he learned the importance of cooperation, togetherness, firm resolve, patience, and the importance of his country first, how he could not attend his brother's wedding, his first posting in Kashmir, and their operations to eradicate terrorism in Kashmir.
The final part - the Kargil War - explains everything about that war - why it started, how it began, how thousands of brave soldiers died who fought with indomitable spirit, and finally the war on Tiger Hill, where he exhibited exemplary courage, determination, and will despite sustained major injuries, which earned him the Param Vir Chakra. Through his story, he attempted to show how he transformed from a simple villager to a fearless soldier who worked tirelessly to win his country's flag. Every single line is enough to make an Indian proud and feel goosebumps.
It is written straightforwardly and lucidly, making it accessible to readers of all ages. Each chapter concludes with a quote that shares a lesson the author has learned. The book also contains photos of Captain Yogendra Singh Yadav after he joined the army, memories of Tololing Peaks he won with his unit, and pictures of the Tiger Hill Victory. At the end of the book, there is a list of all the highest award-winning soldiers. Every reader should read this book.
