An authentic assessment of one of the gems from the independence movement, whose ill-timed death robbed India of a statesman politician, rare species, then and even rarer now.

A must read for every Indian and as well for other student of East Asian politics. Exposes gullibility of political leadership of India's early years of independence, which brought undeserved pain and shame to the brave Indian Army. Brig. Dalvi's first hand account is brutal, honest and well written. It also exposes attempts of Indian estblishment to sweep the truth under the rug.

sir Jadunath's account of cultural evolution of India is that of a master historian. It is precise and devoid of rhetoric. It is lucid and packed with facts to make it a wonderful read to even a layman. One can only wish that that he had updated before his death to bring it to the post partition India.
