| Summary: | In January 2016, the government of India began declassifying classified PMO, MEA, MHA and Cabinet Secretariat files related to the mysterious 'disappearance' of Subhas Chandra Bose at the end of the Second World War. No one could have imagined that even seventy years after Bose’s disappearance, the government had been holding hundreds of files related to him in utmost secrecy. The official view that Bose died in a plane crash in Taiwan never found public acceptance, leading to multiple inquiries. Claims, counter-claims and conspiracy theories continued to complicate the mystery for nearly seventy-five years, primarily because of keeping information hidden from public view. In this fascinating investigative work, Dhar and Ghose have rummaged through more than two thousand files declassified in India and in the United Kingdom, the United States and Taiwan to unentangle the complex web of a deception plan, that has kept the whole country on tenterhooks for decades. They unravel the plot layer by layer to tell a story that is bound to shock the readers. |
