 Letters,
Articles, Speeches and Statements (1933-1937)
Note by Sisir K Bose & Sugata Bose
In February 1933, a seriously ill and emaciated prisoner was carried
out of an ambulance on a stretcher and out onto a ship setting sail
from Bombay to Europe. When the same man boarded a KLM flight in Calcutta
for Europe in November 1937, he was psresident-elect of the Congress.
This volume brings together the letters, writings and speeches from
a fascinating period of mostly enforced European exile in the career
of Subhas Chandra Bose.
A wide array of topics is explored- imperialism, nationalism, fascism,
communism, psychology, philosophy, spirituality, urban planning, travel,
Gandhi, Ireland, love, and more.
Besides more than 200 previously unpublished letters,
the volume includes such major political essays as 'The Anti-imperialist
Struggle and Samyavada', 'Europe- Today and Tomorrow', 'Japan's
Role in The Far East' and 'The Pros and Cons of Office Acceptance'.
It is essential reading for all those interested in national and
international politics of the inter-War era.
