(Retd.) S. C. Narang is an elite Indian military veteran and defense scholar whose extensive publications—including \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"11\" data-index-in-node=\"121\"\u003eAn Outlook of India's Defence Strategy\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"11\" data-index-in-node=\"164\"\u003eIndia's Ballistic Missiles Defence\u003c\/i\u003e—provide authoritative insights into regional geopolitics and military history. His field experience brings practical, operational ground realities directly to abstract macroeconomic planning models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12\"\u003eCol. Narang’s authorial and critical style is exceptionally pragmatic, objective, and policy-driven. Writing with the directness of a veteran staff officer, he moves past idealized strategic assumptions to focus on hard resource limits, structural procurement delays, and technological dependencies. His prose flows through tightly integrated paragraphs rather than fragmented summaries, using smooth transitions to connect macro-level fiscal policies directly with tactical field capabilities. By balancing deep respect for armed forces requirements with an understanding of national financial constraints, his handbook remains an indispensable reference standard for university security departments, military academies, and national policy institutes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Prashant Publishing House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52049506042154,"sku":"VASY-9380565275","price":30.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0693\/1218\/4618\/files\/417KTFSctqL.jpg?v=1783401360","url":"https:\/\/crazyshelf.com\/products\/a-handbook-of-defence-economics","provider":"Crazyshelf.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
