This is again a seminal work on the fate of Netaji Subhas Bose. Though this is a search on his immediate whereabouts after his disappearance in 1945. The book gives important top secret documents from the British Intelligence and Russian Archives. If this book is tallied with Oi Mahamanab Ashe (the bengali book, colletion of articles on Subhas's afterlife), a correlation of possibility can be found that Bose went to Russia around 1944-45 before the Taipei Deception of an Aircrash. Also, the last chapter highlights a critical fact that Pt. Nehru visited Soviet Russia only after Stalins death and Stalin himself refused to meet Vijaylakshmi Pandit (Nehru's sister) as the first Indian ambassador to Moscow. Though we had impeccable relations with USSR afterwords. If Bose was in Russia post 1945, his shadow must have atleast influenced Stalin to persuade him to help India, albeit from a backdoor? Interesting and real as it can get.
To quote a quote from the book -"the children of truth live forever"- Swami Vivekananda. So is so for Subhas Babu.
