Manohar Publishers and Distributors Bagha Jatin Life in Bengal and Death in Orissa (1879-1915) by Prithwindra Mukherjee
"Jatindranath Mukherjee (Bagha Jatin) was a legendary leader of the revolutionary movement in Bengal and Orissa in the early part of twentieth century. A formidable organizer and planner, right-hand man of Sri Aurobindo, founder member of Jugantar and Anushilan Samiti, Jatin realized early that it was futile for revolutionaries to fight the British Raj on their own. He established links with the Germans during the First World War, and was killed after a dramatic gunfight at Balasore on 9 September 1915. This slim, exciting volume, full of rare insights gleaned from familial and archival sources by Jatin’s grandson, brings to the fore the portrait of indomitable courage and fortitude. A man who inspired millions across India, including Subhas Bose and Bhagat Singh, this heart-felt volume pays exemplary tribute to him."
