5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent book,
This review is from: Tigers of Lanka: from Boys to Guerrillas (Hardcover)
I am certainly no supporter of the Tamil Tigers but after reading this book I think every reader would have a begrudging respect for Prabhakaran and how he formed the LTTE. It details all the modern history and the conflict in the war.Excellent reading and should be read with Swamy's other book Inside an Elusive MindInside an Elusive Mind

Excellent Summary of Tamil Struggle,

This review is from: Tigers of Lanka: from Boys to Guerrillas (Hardcover)
Mr. Swamy has done an admirable job in describing the early days of the Sri Lankan tragedy. I would have liked more insight into the Tamil leader Prabhakaran's mind (like maybe with an interview.) Though the epilogues give a very brief updating of the conflict after 1990, more info on LTTE's efforts to obtain legitimacy internationally since then would have been nice. But that's nitpicking - Swamy's book is a definite must-read for anyone interested in this 20 year old civil war. I also recommend "Only Man is Vile" (McGowan) for a more personal perspective.
