A candid post-mortem of the LTTE

Book: The Prabhakaran Saga
 
Author: S. Murali
 
This is a cold-blooded yet comprehensive post-mortem of the rise and fall of the LTTE and its boss Velupillai Prabhakaran who thought, till nemesis caught up with him, that he could never be vanquished. Murali displays admirable writing and reporting skills to present an otherwise complicated story of Sri Lanka’s Tamil conflict, which lasted over a quarter century, into a chronologically detailed but easy to read work.
