Knowledge is power, a truth particularly vital for Intelligence agencies. Two conflicts in the s highlighted the urgent need to restructure and revitalise India’s Intelligence system: the war against China, and the one against Pakistan, both revealing failures in information gathering. R.N. Kao, an unconventional choice, was tasked with this challenge. The founder-chief of India’s Research and Analysis Wing operated discreetly. Understated and gentlemanly, Kao nevertheless established Indian Intelligence as a global force. This book by Anusha Nandakumar and Sandeep Saket traces the origins of modern Indian espionage and details R&AW’s crucial role in the liberation of Bangladesh. Kao’s aim was to create an Intelligence agency that would safeguard India’s security and integrity. The team he built, known as the “Kaoboys,” became widely renowned. This is the story of its beginnings – a tale of covert operations, courage, quick thinking, and how victories are achieved both on and off the battlefield.
