From working within the folds of the British government for inside information, to being the mastermind behind importing weapons to aid the revolution; from organising bomb making workshops, to training the youth in physical strength - Jatin was a man of many talents. While his ideas impressed his fellow comrades, his valour and physical strength struck fear and awe among the British soldiers.

His vision to bring together leaders like Aurobindo Ghosh and Rash Behari Bose, among others, homogenised the Indian freedom struggle. Their ultimate goal was to revolutionise the common masses and Indian soldiers in the British army to fight for India's freedom.

He heroically fought a frontal battle with the British soldiers, laying down his life in service of mother India.

This book is a tribute to the brave revolutionary who changed the face of the Indian freedom struggle and terrified the British.
