Description
Drawing on the treasure trove of the Netaji Research Bureau archives, 'Netaji: A Life in Pictures' presents an evocative visual record and inspiring narrative of the life and struggle of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, dedicated to the cause of India's freedom. It portrays Netaji's many-splendoured personality in varied attire, multiple settings, and in many different moods. The story of the development of an idealistic young student into the Supreme Commander of the Indian National Army unfolds in the pages of this book. Sugata Bose and Sumantra Bose interpret the riveting history of Subhas Chandra Bose as the leader of youth, India's spokesman abroad, President of the Indian National Congress, and the architect of Azad Hind. Rare photographs of Netaji with Mahatma Gandhi and other leaders of the freedom struggle embellish this book.
