Description A collection of Subhas Chandra Bose’s writings and speeches, 1941–1943.

This volume of Netaji Bose’s collected works covers perhaps the most difficult, daring and controversial phase in the life of India’s foremost anti-colonial revolutionary. His writings and broadcasts of this period cover a broad range of topics, including: the nature and course of World War Two; the need to distinguish between India’s internal and external policy in the context of the international war crisis; plans for a final armed assault against British rule in India; dismay at, and criticism of, Germany’s invasion of the Soviet Union; the hypocrisy of Anglo- American notions of freedom and democracy; the role of Japan in East and South East Asia; the reasons for rejecting the Cripps offer of 1942; support for Mahatma Gandhi and the Quit India movement later that year and reflections on the future problems of reconstruction in free India.

Readership: For students and scholars of Indian history and politics.
