Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. In January 2016, the Government of India began declassifying classified PMO, MEA, MHA and Cabinet Secretariat files related to the mysterious 'disappearance' of Subhas Chandra Bose at the end of the Second World War. No one could have imagined that even seventy years after Boses disappearance, the government had been holding hundreds of files related to him in utmost secrecy. The official view that Bose died in a plane crash in Taiwan never found public acceptance, leading to multiple inquiries.
