The traumatic events in Punjab in the eighties and early nineties with the rise of Khalistani terrorism shook the entire nation. No one is in a better position to write on this subject than Satya Pal Dang, who was not only an eye-witness to these events but also an active participant in the grim struggle againt terrorism and secessionism in Punjab. He also personally knew almost all the key players of the game in the political parties, the government and the police and security forces. This book brings together some of his selected writings during the entire period as also some hitherto unpublished papers presented to various national seminars. It covers all aspects of the problem in its national and international dimensions. The book is not only a unique record of what happened, but also a brilliant analysis of why it happened and provides an answer to what must be done to overcome the menace of terrorism and secessionism to preserve the unity and integrity of our country. Noted journalist and political commentator V.D. Chopra has contributed a detailed introduction on the historical roots of terrorism in Kashmir and Punjab.
