What People are Saying About This

Amartya Sen

Subhas Chandra Bose was perhaps the most enigmatic of the great Indian leaders fighting for independence in the twentieth century. This wonderful book makes a major contribution to the understanding of the political, social and moral commitments of Netaji, the great leader, as he was called by his contemporaries.

— Amartya Sen, author of The Idea of Justice

— Dr. Tim Harper, author of Forgotten Wars: Freedom and Revolution in Southeast Asia

Arjun Appadurai
