About this ebook
These were the forests of no return where men like Kaito, Zhukiye. Mowu, Zuheto and Thinoselie embraced death often and survived.
You are about to enter ‘terra incognita’ on the fog-bound heights of the Arakans where many a platoon commander fell, their mission reports unwritten. It is the only book to offer interpretations on:
Meikhel: Three of the hallowed stones, of which two fell, according to a Naga prophecy.
Oking: Top-secret mobile Headquarters of the Guerrillas.
Ahza: A decree which emanated from Oking and could bring death of traitors. Peking: The Chinese connection which made an effort to convert Nagaland into a mini-Vietnam.
Kuknalim: “Long live the land” was how the Guerrillas greeted each other, while they talked with bullets.
Tatar Hoho: The underground Parliament where democracy prevailed.
Alee Command: The Foreign Legion - will it strike again?
Kachin: Where the south-east Asian guerrilla movements converge to co-ordinte.
In The Night of the Guerrillas, there are no villains - the contending sides were caught between the indomitable and the inevitable. The destiny of the Nagas must have always lain with India while the luckless revolutionaries were searching it elsewhere.
