A BIRD FROM AFAR: A NOVEL ANSHUL CHATURVEDI

The year is 1942. Subhas Chandra Bose is in Berlin, Nazi Germany, at the mercy of the Reich forces, on a mission to build an army to take on the British imperialist forces in India. The world at large, embroiled in the conflict in Europe and beyond, has perceived the significance of India on the global stage. Bose has to choose who to ally with, between Hiter’s Nazi forces, the Japanese army and Mussolini’s Italian troops, to free India from the clutches of the British empire. Covering a tumultuous era that marked the birth of the legendary Indian National Army, A Bird from Afar by Anshul Chaturvedi is a finely crafted work of historical fiction about India's thirst for Independence during the Second World War.
