This book examines to what extent the trials had an impact on the final phase of India's quest for independence. In so doing, it unveils that, while the Indian National Congress's extended odyssey to win independence was essentially about a passive push-back, at a critical juncture of its campaign to extinguish British colonialism in India, it applauded and capitalised on the INA's use of force. The central, explosive narrative is about Britain holding a court martial of three officers of the INA  Shah Nawaz Khan, Prem Sahgal and Gurbaksh Dhillon  convicting them, before a dramatic turn in events. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe material unearthed by the book throws new light on a decisive juncture leading to the transfer of power in India.
