About this listen

As Khushwant Singh wrote in the preface to the hardbound edition published in 1990 of this true account of Mohanlal Bhaskar's mission to find out about Pakistan's nuclear plans: 'He was betrayed by one of his colleagues, presumbly a double agent, and had to face the music on his own. The interrogation, which was done by the army and police, included torture of the worst kind imaginable. Many of his comrades went insane or ended their own lives. Large portions of his stories describe the methods used in gory and spine-chilling detail but there were also lighter moments with dacoits, prostitutes, pimps and dope smugglers in the same jails....' He witnessed history unfolding from Mianwali jail: '...when Sheikh Mujibur Rehman was brought there, and had his grave dug and then refilled when Bhutto released him to return in truimph to Bangladesh. From his cell he watched Indian bombers and fighters knock out Pakistan's airforce from the skies....'

an excellent audio script

I went through this book twice and experienced a real time status of Indian spy. Author and Narrator had explained all the instances in well articulated way. It is really a best example of secured script. I recommend this book to all.

Forgotten sacrifices

Loved listening to the experiences of Shri.Mohanlal Bhaskar as an Indian spy in Pakisthan. The brutality he suffered in the hands of Pakisthani officials could only be heard with tears filled eyes. The narration was also very comfortable. it is sad that sacrifices of many patriots like Bhaskarji went unrecognised by the Indian government.

Good to read

The book gave an insight of espyonage and what it take to be a spy, especially when you are caught in the enemy territory. A real life experience narrated envolved thrill, excitement, interest and new knowledge.

Simply great story with beautiful narration.

Seriously even if you don't like stories of spies this is a beautiful narration of every aspect of life of a spy overseas.
I seriously cannot put in words.
it is so beautifully done that you feel the era the air and the view of how beautiful the other part is in regard to scenes and how brutal and how I'll managed it is.
The detailing is awesomely done.
I have a 5 star for the narrator.

good narration of ordeal which one goes through for being caught in spying. Ending was little disappointing as it appears that writer was not happy with overall by treatment he received post return.
