Summary: This is a moving and poignant book. Some of the essays are deeply reflective about why the movement failed and was at the end alienated. Ranabir samaddar says that, the Naxalite movement has been denied a history. The book also carries six powerful short stories written during the Naxalite decade and which are palpably true to life of the times.&Nbsp; the book has some rare photographs and ends with newspaper clippings from the period.As a study of rebellious politics in post-independent India, this volume with its focus on West Bengal and Bihar will stand out as an exceptional history of contemporary times.
