Bu e-kitap hakkında
This gripping, stranger-thanfiction story is authenticated by a rare selection of photographs and contemporary sketches. Recorded conversations with top Mizo leaders who either participated in the movement or were holding important positions during the height of the insurrections and snap interviews with guerrillas lend an extraordinary force to the narrative.
Nibedon is the first journalists to have made the leaders of the movement break their decadeold silence. Owing to the fluid situation prevailing in the hills, there are gaps in the Mizo story. Yet, this is a brilliant attempt to reconstruct the insurgency operations carried out by the Underground and the Indian War Department’s actions to contain the threat.
Besides a minute-to-minute account of guerilla depredations and the counterinsurgency operations by the soldiers in Olive-Green, it is also the tale of Mizo people who have passionately preserved their traditions and whose fighting spirit is still nourished by legendary warriors of the past.
The Dagger Brigade is the graphic account of a disastrous, yet heroic struggle. It will be attacked, damned, praised and read around the world, for it is true, tough, objective and the first bold exposure of the activities in The Hood of the Cobra.
