RIGHTS HELDAUTHOR Sugata Bose TITLE His Majesty’s Opponent Subhas Chandra Bose and India’s Struggle against Empire CATEGORY biography trade NUMBER OF PAGES 412 68 halftones, 3 maps PUBLICATION MONTH May AUTHOR BIO Sugata Bose was born in Kolkata, India in 1956. Educated at the University of Cambridge, he is now Gardiner Professor of History at Harvard University. He is the co-author and editor of a number of books and the author of A Hundred Horizons published by HUP in 2006 and in India by Permanent Black in the same year. BOOK DESCRIPTION A biography of Subhas Chandra Bose. Subhas Chandra Bose is revered in India as a great anti-colonialist and nationalist leader. In the West, however, he has been known, and reviled, primarily as the leader of the Indian National Army which chose to fight on the side of the Axis in World War II against imperial Britain. How this came to be is an extraordinary tale of India’s foremost anti-colonial revolutionary, a man who participated in all the major global struggles of the first half of the twentieth century – nationalism, socialism, anti-imperialism, and independence movements. Bose joined Ghandi’s civil disobedience movement in the 1920s and agitated for Indian independence from a young age. Leading the Congress Party in the 1930s as well as being exiled and imprisoned, he sustained a vision of a unified India free of British rule about which he wrote and spoke unceasingly. His wanderings took him from Calcutta to London and back, then to travel throughout Europe and, in World War II, to Berlin, Moscow, Tokyo, and the battlegrounds of Southeast Asia. He formed the Indian National Army (in opposition to the British Indian Army) from Indian captives in Japanese POW camps and other Indian civilians in Southeast Asia. He aimed to destroy the British in Asia and to free his country. He never reached Delhi with his INA and failed to deliver his people from the British. When independence came two years later however, he was honored as one of its greatest heroes. And so, Indians today honor him as a freedom fighter and a national leader who could unite Hindu and Moslem, men and women, and diverse castes and linguistic groups within an independent nation. Sugata Bose is the nephew of Subhas Chandra Bose and the co-editor with his father, Subhas’s brother, of his collected works. This biography is sure to be much discussed and debated.

She is Salo Wittmayer Baron Professor of Jewish History, Culture, and Society at Columbia University. BOOK DESCRIPTION An illustrated history of the Jewish calendar. How people mark time is intimately involved with every aspect of their lives from religion to commerce to family and daily events. Thus, a shift in calendar becomes an issue of great discussion and consequence for people. Carlebach has discovered a large Jewish literature, in writings and illustrated manuscripts in libraries around the world, that arose around the change to the Gregorian calendar in the late sixteenth century and studies the implications and meanings of this shift in marking time for the Jews of early modern Europe and for their sense of time and culture in relation to the Christian calendar. Through this previously unexamined source, Carlebach writes a truly original history of this transition in time-keeping, the issues it engendered, and the mentality and world view of early modern Jews confronted by it.
