Book excerpt: This book records a brief description of my early life in a lower middle-class family of rural Karnataka, followed by an account of my short-lived career in the British Indian Army during World War II and, lastly, the story of the Indian National Army in which I was privileged to serve as a minor functionary from its very inception until the tragic day when it passed off into history.

Download or read book Bose The Indian Samurai Netaji and the Ina a Military Assessment written by G. D. Bakshi and published by K W Publishers Pvt Limited. This book was released on 2016-05-02 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a path breaking book by a former General that seeks to evaluate Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose as a military leader and indeed, the First Supreme Commander of India. Netaji was instrumental in India getting her freedom. It is the first professional attempt to evaluate the military performance of the Indian National Army (INA) in World War-II and its significant impact on the Freedom Struggle. The book has gone into great details about each and every engagement fought by the INA. This meticulously researched book seeks to reopen a significant historical debate about how India got her freedom. A succession of court historians have tried to craft a narrative that India had obtained her freedom entirely by the soft power of Ahimsa/non-violence and Satyagraha; and that hard power had no role to play whatsoever. There is also the dark secret about what finally happened to Bose. The author is pessimistic about the unearthing of the real truth as many critical Indian files have been destroyed. To get at the whole truth, we need access to Russian, Japanese and British archives. The author has analysed a wealth of data. It leaves us with some most disconcerting and horrible speculations about what happened to the man who in truth, got us our freedom. His legacy was buried and marginalised by a set of non-violent pretenders who expended inordinate amounts of energy in fighting the ghosts of the INA. Today, India as a nation needs to squarely face up to the truth. Bose, indeed was the icon of Indian nationalism. Today, we need to revive his legacy in the backdrop of an ugly debate that seeks to splinter the nation state in India under the pretext of free speech. Treason and treachery continue to flourish in India. That is why we need to revive the ardent nationalism of Bose - an Indian Samurai par excellence.

Download or read book The Late Colonial Indian Army written by Pradeep Barua and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2021-11-04 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Indian Army was one of the most important colonial institutions that the British created. From its humble origins as a mercantile police force to a modern contemporary army in the Second World War, this institution underwent many transitions. This book examines the Indian Army during the later colonial era from the First Afghan War in 1839 to Indian independence in 1947. During this period, the Indian Army developed from an internal policing force, to a frontier army, and then to a conventional western style fighting force capable of deployment to overseas’ theaters. These transitions resulted in significant structural and doctrinal changes in the army. The doctrines, and tactics honed during this period would have a dramatic impact upon the post-colonial armies of India and Pakistan. From civil-military relations to fighting and structural doctrines, the Indian and Pakistani armies closely reflect the deep-seated impact of decades of evolution during the late colonial era.

From avoiding the fate of being a mere tool for a patron power to facing issues regarding their military efficacy and political legitimacy, exiled armies have found their journey home a tortuous one. This collection of essays covers the experience of exiled forces in the Second World War, principally in Europe, and also covers their activities around the globe during the Cold War and beyond.
Download or read book Our National Army written by G. G. Coulton and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-10 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our National Army: A Question for the People The following pamphlet, reprinted from The National Review, is issued with the object of bringing a question of vital importance to the notice of busy men, of working men, of Englishmen less slothful or cowardly than so many of our politicians seem to believe. In this preface, in which I attempt to sum up my main points in a few words, the references in brackets are to those pages of the pamphlet in which the matter is dealt with more fully. The most formal Ministerial pronouncement as to the general military policy of Great Britain is probably that made by Lord Salisbury and Mr. Wyndham at the great Primrose League gathering of May 9th. Yet the main point of the Premier's long speech rested upon the assumption that our old English archers and the modern Swiss riflemen had been trained on a volunteer system, an assumption which is directly contrary to the facts (pp. 1, 10). Again, the final sentences of Mr. Wyndham's speech can only be construed as an appeal to the rich middle classes to persuade other men to fight for them, lest they should he compelled to fight themselves (p. 1). So false, and so utterly unworthy of a manly people, is the best advice which these Ministers can give to the nation at a moment of exceptional gravity! Now, this is no matter of mere politics. Badly prepared as we were for this war, we were probably better prepared than under any previous Government of this generation. Neither political Party can throw the blame upon the other: the question stretches far beyond mere Party limits. It is of the deepest national importance, and every citizen bears his share of the responsibility. Nor can we throw all tho blame upon the War Office. It is full of able and hard-working men; and the nation itself is very much to blame in compelling these men to work under a bad system - a system which often numbs the energies of the capable official, and never allows us to fix upon tho incapable the full responsibility for his failure. Yet these failures have been shameful and notorious during the past twelve months. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A riveting tale told through personal accounts and sketches along the way—ultimately, a story of success against great odds. I enjoyed it enormously.” —Tom Brokaw The first book to tell the full story of how a traveling road show of artists wielding imagination, paint, and bravado saved thousands of American lives—now updated with new material. In the summer of 1944, a handpicked group of young GIs—artists, designers, architects, and sound engineers, including such future luminaries as Bill Blass, Ellsworth Kelly, Arthur Singer, Victor Dowd, Art Kane, and Jack Masey—landed in France to conduct a secret mission. From Normandy to the Rhine, the 1,100 men of the 23rd Headquarters Special Troops, known as the Ghost Army, conjured up phony convoys, phantom divisions, and make-believe headquarters to fool the enemy about the strength and location of American units. Every move they made was top secret, and their story was hushed up for decades after the war's end. Hundreds of color and black-and-white photographs, along with maps, official memos, and letters, accompany Rick Beyer and Elizabeth Sayles’s meticulous research and interviews with many of the soldiers, weaving a compelling narrative of how an unlikely team carried out amazing battlefield deceptions that saved thousands of American lives and helped open the way for the final drive to Germany. The stunning art created between missions also offers a glimpse of life behind the lines during World War II. This updated edition includes: A new afterword by co-author Rick Beyer Never-before-seen additional images The successful campaign to have the unit awarded a Congressional Gold Medal History and WWII enthusiasts will find The Ghost Army of World War II an essential addition to their library.
