Battles of the New Republic

Description

PRASHANT JHA IS ONE OF SOUTH ASIA’S FINEST JOURNALISTS. THIS IS A METICULOUS, CLEAR-EYED AND RIVETING STORY OF THE REVOLUTIONARY CHANGES IN NEPAL. THE STORY IS TOLD WITH NARRATIVE FLAIR, HISTORICAL INSIGHT AND A DEPTH OF KNOWLEDGE RARE IN THE FIELD. IT MAY BE THE ONE INDISPENSABLE BOOK ON THE SUBJECT. BUT THE STORY OF REVOLUTION AND REACTION, HIGH IDEALISM AND LOW POLITICS, UNIVERSAL ASPIRATION AND COMMUNITY DIVISION, WILL BE OF MUCH WIDER INTEREST. A MAJOR ACHIEVEMENT.’

‘NEPAL’S DEMOCRATIC REVOLUTION IS ONE OF THE MOST REMARKABLE POLITICAL AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENTS OF THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY AND THERE CANNOT BE A BETTER CHRONICLE OF THIS STORY THAN PRASHANT JHA’S BATTLES OF THE NEW REPUBLIC.
