Maj Gen M Z Kiani was officer in 1st Battalion 14th Punjab Regiment under Britishers. He won Sword of Honour & Gold Medal for the most outstanding Cadet in 1935 from Indian Military Academy, Dehradun. But he left all to join I.N.A under Netaji. He was Chief of General Staff under General Mohan Singh of I.N.A. He chose to move over in Pakistan after Partition in 1947 and wrote this book from there. This was published after his death through Maj. Gen. Chand Narain Das & Sh Sisir Kumar Bose. This is author's personal account of the INA and has been written from memory after over many years of the events it relates. Calling the INA movement “GREAT” may sound pompous especially to those who are unfriendly or unsympathetically disposed either to author or to the I.N.A, but having seen it from close quarters the author considered the appellation as justified and filling.....But what, to my mind, makes the movement “Great” that it shook the core the very foundations of the nearly two centuries old British Empire in India.. The book narrates many instances which are still now not known to people in Indian and Pakistan. He wrote...”India and Pakistan got their independence in 1947. Both before and after the Partition of the sub-continent, unprecedented communal riots engulfed vast areas causing great loss of life and untold sufferings to millions of poor & unsuspecting human beings. The instigators and the leaders (so called) generally got away without so much as a bruise. In fact many improved their lot politically, economically and financially” ........” Those of us who are in the autumn of our lives, and who did their mite to get rid of foreign rule, did not envision the type of independence we have got. People want happiness and contentment which they don’t seems to have. It is now upto the youth, whose future is at stake....”
