Memoirs of A. M. Nair

Beschreibung

Youth leader, patriot, colonial Britain's bête noire, technocrat, linguist, adviser to the Indian Diplomatic Mission in Tokyo, and later a successful business entrepreneur, the life of Indian independence activist Ayyappanpillai Madhavan Nair defies categorization. Shedding new light on the leadership of the Indian Independence League and the Indian National Army under Rash Behari Bose and Subhas Chandra Bose, A. M. Nair offers a compelling eyewitness account that challenges conventional narratives about India's independence movement, covering his tumultuous experiences across vast landscapes from Japan to Manchuria, Mongolia, and the Central Asian regions. A fresh perspective on the Indian freedom struggle abroad, this powerful testimony and heartfelt memoir, including a new foreword by the author's son, G. M. Nair, captures the indomitable spirit of his endeavors.
