Hard going in the middle, but come on - everything you wanted to know about agrarian Bengal but were afraid to ask. Last two chapters are clutch.

Although Sugata Bose has avoided the detailed reports of the various commissions set up by the Government of independent India to investigate the disappearance of Subhas Chandra Bose, which may feel misleading to a section of readers, the book is a truly remarkable biography, brilliantly written with a historian's dispassion.
