Netaji

Subhas Chandra Bose: The Revolutionary Who Challenged an Empire and Fought for India's Freedom

by Parvind Kumar

★★★★★ 4.8 / 5 (Goodreads Ratings)

The life of Subhas Chandra Bose — from the Indian Civil Service and the Congress to the great escape and the Indian National Army.

Netaji is a biography by Indian author Parvind Kumar on Subhas Chandra Bose, born in Cuttack in 1897, whose ideas, political choices and wartime strategy distinguished him from many of his contemporaries. It follows his early life and education, his decision to leave the Indian Civil Service, his rise in the Indian National Congress and his association with Chittaranjan Das.

The book explores his cooperation and conflict with Gandhi and other nationalist leaders, the dramatic escape from British surveillance and his dangerous international journey, and the belief that India's freedom required bold action, organised resistance and international support.
