Book Description
1944, Kohima - a small, sleepy twon in northeast India. Subhash Chandra Bose and his Indian National Army (INA) along with the Japanese, are on the brink of brining the Empire to its knees and forcing the british out of India. But, inexplicably, the tables trun. The INS's advance is thwarted and the victory march to Delhi i shalted. Seventy years later, the British admit that the Battle of Kohima was the greatest battle they had ever fought. Even more so than the battles of Waterloo and Dunkirk.
Was it then that old Indian curse - betrayal? Someone from within Netaji's own ranks? Were there forces other than the British, waiting in the shadows closer to home, who stood to gain even more from the INA's defeat? Or was it just love that irrevocably altered the course of India's destiny?
The Wrong Turn: Love and Betrayal in the Time of Netaji, is a sweeping tale of passion set against the freeodm struggle. Debraj, the rakish playboy and scion of a distinguished Calcutta family, and Nishonka, the fiery revolutionary sworn to the cause of the INA, must not only fight their common enemy, but also for the love of Aditi, the rebel with the healing touch.
A hounting tale of love, friendship and detrayal of an entire nation, The Wrong Turn veers inexorably towards a poignant redemption.
