The renowned espionage historian offers “a gripping account of British intelligence during the last days of empire” (The Daily Telegraph). Drawing on a wealth of newly declassified records and hitherto overlooked personal papers, intelligence expert Calder Walton offers a compelling and authoritative history of Britain’s espionage activities after World War II. A major addition to intelligence literature, this is the first book to utilize records from the Foreign Office’s secret archive, which contains some of the darkest and most shameful secrets from the last days of Britain’s empire. Working clandestinely, MI5 operatives helped to prop up newly independent states across the globe against a ceaseless campaign of Communist subversion. Though the CIA is often assumed to be the principal actor against the Soviet Union through the Cold War, Britain plays a key role through its so-called “special relationship” with the United States. In Empire of Secrets, Walton sheds new light on everything from violent counterinsurgencies fought by British forces in the jungles of Malaya and Kenya, to urban warfare campaigns conducted in Palestine and the Arabian Peninsula. The stories here have chilling contemporary resonance, detailing the use and abuse of intelligence by governments that oversaw state-sanctioned terrorism, wartime rendition, and “enhanced” interrogation. “An important and highly original account of postwar British intelligence.” —The Wall Street Journal

History abounds with many heroes. The Indian freedom struggle had its own share of them. Subhas Chandra Bose fired the nation with patriotic fervour, very different in character to the non-violent approach preached by Gandhi. Truly an outsider to the movements of satyagraha and passive resistance that rapidly gained momentum, he made a valiant effort to galvanize the nation into action with evocative slogans such as Freedom is never given, it is taken' . . . 'Tum mujhe khoon do, main tumhe azadi doonga'. JAI HIND India's national greeting ? was the salutation coined by him to arouse nationalistic passion among the Indians. In what was unthinkable then, Bose dared to ally with the Nazis and the Japanese, and raised an indigenous army called Azad Hind Fauj to challenge the military might of the British Empire. Why then has Subhas Chandra Bose been largely marginalized as a footnote in the history of India's independence? Perhaps the mythical legends that continue to shroud both his personal life and political happenstance hold some answers. The Lost Hero a thoroughly researched biography of Subhas Bose delves into the life and times of this great man, with the hope that he is granted a befitting place in the annals of Indian history.

Naina Singh Dhoot (1904-1989) played a pioneer role in the communist movement of the Indian subcontinent. He grew up in the Chenab Canal Colony, joined the Ghadar Party in Argentina and studied Marxism in Moscow. Returning to India in 1936, NSD established a night school at Calcutta for teaching Marxism. He revived the muzara movement in the Nili Bar and suffered police torture in the Lahore Fort. He guided major strikes of industrial workers in Jamshedpur, Amritsar and Okara. He strengthened the trade union movement of Kanpur in collaboration with R.D. Bhardwaj and S.S. Yusuf. He was imprisoned in the Deoli Detention Camp along with 260 leading communists. During the different phases of his political career, he worked in close association with Muzaffar Ahmad, Ajoy Kumar Ghosh and Harkishan Singh Surjeet. During the Partition, NSD led numerous campaigns for the prevention of communal riots and rehabilitation of refugees. Remaining underground for five years (1948-52) when the CPI was banned, he organized hundreds of workers at the Bhakra Dam site and led the muzara movement of Una to its logical end. Following the split of 1964, he joined the CPM and began to build the party from below. For nearly five decades, NSD remained involved in the struggles of the toiling masses, propagating Marxism and developing communist cadres. His personal experiences constitute an indispensable source for reconstructing the various political developments in the Indian subcontinent during the last century.
