Published online by Cambridge University Press: 21 October 2015
In the decades intervening between the publication of the first edition of this book in 1971 (Jungle Alliance: Japan and the Indian National Army, Singapore: Asia/Pacific Press) and this present edition, the outpouring of volumes on Subhas Chandra Bose and the Indian National Army has continued. None of these studies in English focuses on the relationship between the Imperial Japanese Army and the INA and also uses Japanese sources. For this reason this work is being reprinted.
With the exception of the book by Peter Fay (The Forgotten Army, 1993), most of these studies of the INA contain no more than a passing mention of the Rani of Jhansi Regiment, if that. This women's regiment, part of the Indian National Army, was composed primarily of teenage girls from Malaya and Burma who had never seen India, yet were eager to volunteer in response to Bose's summons, to donate not only their jewellery but also their lives in the struggle to liberate India.
A companion volume to this new edition of the 1971 publication will therefore be published, Women Against the Raj: The Rani of Jhansi Regiment. It is designed to address the academic vacuum on the subject.
