” This is the first comprehensive account of the Indian National Army (I.N.A.) written by a historian. The value of the book is considerably enhanced by the fact that the author has been able to make use of a member of Japanese documents and the papers of the Indian Independence league bearing upon the different aspects of the subject. So far as I know no Indian before him has used such records to write the history of L.N.A. The historical value of these records can hardly be over-estimated. The author has dealt in considerable details with the origin of I.N.A., its early difficulties and internal dissensions, successful organization by Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, its various campaigns and their reaction on Indian Politics, in view of the great and important role played by LN.A., this book must be regarded as a very valuable addition to the literature on the struggle for Indian freedom.” R.C.
