The most original account of\n the public and private lives of Subhas and Sarat Bose and an enthralling\n narrative of India?s journey to independence. Subhas and Sarat is a closely\n observed portrait of the Bose family of Bengal?especially its two most famous\n members, Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose and his older brother, Sarat Chandra\n Bose?and their role in India?s freedom struggle. The author, Sisir Kumar Bose\n (1920?2000)?Netaji?s nephew, and the son of Sarat Chandra Bose?focuses\n especially on the period spanning the mid-1920s to the turbulent 1940s when\n the freedom movement was at its peak.
