About this title

Synopsis

Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose was India's foremost militant nationalist, just as Gandhi and Nehru were its pacifist and moderate nationalists. His love life has always remained a carefully guarded secret. In this volume, for the first time, is revealed Bose's relationship with Emilie Schenkl, the Austrian he married in Europe. It contains 162 of his letters, written between 1934 and 1942, and published for the first time along with eighteen of Emilie Schenkl's letters that have survived.

Review

Bose's retrospective self-analysis, and meticulous accounts of his inner-struggle as a truant schoolboy searching for holy enlightenment, would be a useful reference point for those who tend to interpolate an amoral, fantastic streak in Bose from his subsequent alliance with Nazi Germany ...
