Opis

Bose is one of India's national icons, a hero of anti-colonial resistance against the British, who established the Indian National Army to fight the imperial power. His activities in Nazi Germany merit scrupulous, scholarly and detailed study. This book focuses exclusively on Bose's interactions with Nazi Germany during World War II. Hayes's narrative makes extensive use of German, Indian and British documents, including memoranda, notes, minutes, reports, telegrams, letters and broadcasts, and he also presents the reader with fresh scholarly sources from the German historical archives. His book takes not only the political dimension into consideration but the intelligence and propaganda angles too, including the recruitment and training of Indian POWs captured in North Africa. Romain Hayes is a freelance writer; this is his first book.
