The role of Bhagat Singh is most significant in the long-drawn political struggle for Swaraj. His unique sacrifice, along with several associates made him the hero of the masses. Born in a family of freedom fighters, he also made up his mind to launch the struggle which indeed was very difficult and complex in every respect. The chapters have deep bearing on his life, his speeches and writings, his anti-Raj stance, his mobilisation of the comrades-in-arms, his legal case and ultimately his death at the gallows along with Rajguru and Sukhdev. The work indeed is a unique study of the history of revolutionaries which would benefit social scientists, politicians and students.
