About the Book
Bose: The Untold Story of an Inconvenient Nationalist by Chandrachur Ghose is a deeply researched and revelatory biography of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose—arguably one of India’s most dynamic and enigmatic freedom fighters. While Bose’s life is already known for its drama—resigning from the Indian Civil Service, challenging Gandhian leadership, raising armies abroad, and disappearing mysteriously—this book reveals far more beneath the surface.

Drawing on new information and lesser-known archives, Ghose uncovers Bose’s intricate connections with revolutionary networks across India, his attempts to bridge deepening communal divides, his covert operations, his relationships, and his spiritual leanings. The narrative also examines his controversial decision to ally with the Axis powers during World War II, dissecting the political, strategic, and moral complexities behind that choice.

This is not merely a retelling—it is perhaps the first critical biography of Bose, exploring political sensitivities, ideological conflicts, and the many plots and subplots that defined his life. Pacey, detailed, and thought-provoking, this book opens a fresh window into the mind and mission of one of India’s most compelling leaders.
