This book is a shocking spine-chilling first hand account of the rot that prevails in the Indian Army; of the brutal and inhuman torture inflicted on the officers and men who were falsely implicated in the so-called Samba Spy Case; and of the dishonour and immense suffering these unfortunate victims have had to undergo. A number of them, including the author, were jailed, and others dismissed from the service. A striking feature is that the civil Intelligence Bureau authorities stead fastedly stuck to the truth and refused to bow before Army incompetence. Their actions, vindicating the innocence of truthfulness and professional honesty. The recent expose in the national press and on TV, highlighting the innocence of the victims brings out that it is always on the qui vive to vindicate right.

The account is a true exposure of the intrigues, corruption, greed, insensitivity, cowardliness, disloyalty, which mark the fabrication of the so-called Samba Spy Case.

The book is an essential reading for the country's leadership and the public who ought to know and judge the truth. It ought to be a text-book for the Army and defence administrators who are vested with vast powers over the destinies if those who man the army, and whose sacred duty is to be just and fair to those who give their all in the services of the motherland.
