This is his story, and that of the alternative, violent revolutionary struggle for Indian independence - one that often paralleled the non-violent one and occasionally threatened to overwhelm it. Rational, practical and 'freedom-mad', as he urged every Indian to be, Bose was anathema to both the Congress Raj and the British Raj.
A Biography of Subhas Bose By Mihir Bose
The Lost Hero - No account of the history of Indian independence can be complete without the man who opposed Gandhi, was a bitter rival of Nehru and waged war against Mountbatten - Subhas Chandra Bose. This is his story, and that of the alternative, violent revolutionary struggle for Indian independence - one that often paralleled the non-violent one and occasionally threatened to overwhelm it. Rational, practical and 'freedom-mad', as he urged every Indian to be, Bose was anathema to both the Congress Raj and the British Raj. His supporters, on the other hand, went to the other extreme, magnifying his virtues and completely obscuring his faults.
Bose's alliances with the Nazis and the Japanese . . . The plane crash in Taiwan on 18 August 1945 and the sharply divided opinion on whether Bose perished in it or not. .. Would the Indian independence movement have taken a different turn had Bose not left for Germany? These issues invoke volatile discussion even today.
Mihir Bose's The Lost Hero, first published in UK in 1982, comes to the reader as a powerfully revised edition, incorporating the updated findings of the last two decades. This rare human being's biography is highly researched inspirational reading of one who dared to be different.
