From the Preface: "The trail of the three I.N.A. Officers has caused great excitement in the country. It has been revealed to the common man for the first time that the foreign rule in India is not all powerful and eternal.

The personality of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose and the achievements of the Indian National Army has inspired new hopes in the rank and file of the Indian masses. Major General Shahnawaz, Colonel Prem K. Sahgal and Colonel Gurbax Singh Dhillon have become the torch-bearers of India\'s fight for freedom and the real heroes of the people.

What role did they play in the formation and growth of the Indian National Army; how the first I.N.A. was formed and dissolved; how did Netaji come to have the supreme command of the Azad Hind Fauj; what were the relations of the Indian National Army with the Nipponese Forces; were they "puppets" or men of strong determination prepared to lay down their lives for the honour and safety of their motherland has been laid down in the pages of this book."
