Give me blood and I’ll give you freedom’, declared Subhash Chandra Bose. This was exactly what he believed in. The moderate ways of the Congress were not for him. Therefore, he formed the Azad Hind Fauj to overthrow the British. Burning with patriotic zeal, he tried his best to oust the British from his motherland. He was respectfully addressed as ‘Netaji’ and he dedicated his entire life for the freedom of his country.
The annals of history have not done justice to this great patriot. It is time that he should be known by the people of India and given his due recognition.
This book attempts to bring his life into spotlight and illuminate it so that the reader is conversant  with  it  and appreciates his efforts.
