{"product_id":"head-held-high-vishwas-nangre-patil-9780143454960","title":"Head Held High","description":"Whenever decorated officer Vishwas Nangre Patil recalls the memories of Diwali from his childhood days, the sounds of 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 the Taj Mahal Palace hotel during the 2008 Mumbai attacks. Head Held High, translated from the Marathi book 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 to the IPS cadre and, eventually, his role in the counterterrorism operations during the Mumbai attacks. This moving and authentic account of the most formative and challenging years of his life is sure to strike a chord with those who aspire to join the Indian civil services.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Vishwas Nangre Patil\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 014345496X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780143454960\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Ebury Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/28\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.00w x 0.60d","brand":"Vishwas Nangre Patil","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44080812392703,"sku":"9780143454960","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_85ecc670-0f26-4f2e-9d5d-4eeceb416bd2.jpg?v=1685488970","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/head-held-high-vishwas-nangre-patil-9780143454960","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
