It basically says China wanted a peaceful solution and asked India many times to negotiate.But Nehru mistook Chinese pacifism for weakness(China was under famine and isolated diplomatically at that time) and tried to occupy the undemarcated territory on Indo-Chinese border.
The Chinese were baffled why India would want to attack China in a situation when it had no hope of winning
Indian military was outnumbered and ill equipped.It had no logistics and the terrain didn't favor Indian army at all.
On top of this local commanders were chosen on the basis of political allegiance rather than ability, by some guy called Menon.
Many soldiers were killed by cold,lack of food and poor tactics rather than the enemy.
Anyways after defeating Indian forces the Chinese announced a pre determined ceasefire and retreated back to their positions.
Thats the gist of it.
