Everyman’s War, a collection of insightful essays that describe
our participatory role in securing ourselves and our progeny, is a
new book that takes you through India's strategy, security and
terrorism issues.
Written by Raghu Raman, the book touches upon sensitive issues
which have taken thousands of lives in India. So defence, internal
security and terrorism are important yet closely guarded issues.
Above, why this book is important is because it lays facts down in
essays written for layman. The publisher claims that the book aims at
reaching out to people in simple and understandable language.
It also moves through as outrage over safety of women and rising
terror take centrestage. Its synopsis says “There continues to be
limited access to information on the subjects of national defence and
security – especially in a language that a layman can understand.
Raghu Raman, an expert on security and terrorism, presents issues of
defence, strategy and national security in an engaging narrative,
with historical and contemporary examples.”
It further claims that the author recalibrates the great ‘India
rising’ story with its real and present dangers and the role of a
regular citizen in this everyman’s war. Priced at Rs 209, the book
is an imprint of Random House.
