The number 1 Indian bestseller now to be had to Kindle readers worldwide

When it was once published in paperback in India in 2005, Open Secrets became an instant sensation. It became The number 1 Non-Fiction bestseller, a position it held for many months and generated a firestorm of controversy. There were court cases, death threats against the creator, intense debates in the media and a change in India’s Official Secrets Act after the issues raised in the book caused uproar in Parliament. All of this is in hindsight not surprising as Open Secrets was once the first of its kind- the first time a retired Indian Intelligence Bureau Officer penned his memoirs- detailing his thirty-year career and offering unprecedented insights into probably the most pivotal moments of Indian history and a peek into the political machinations that underly them.

More than an expose, Open Secrets was once a heartfelt plea for more transparency and accountability in India’s security and intelligence apparatus- to free them to serve and protect the people of India, and not just their political masters. That debate has special resonance today in the light of the growing popular movement demanding more transparency and less corruption in Indian public life. Open Secrets is thought of as a seminal work for its fearless exposure of the Indian political system and its insightful detailing of the course of modern Indian history’s turning points.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Maloy Krishna Dhar began life as a journalist and a teacher, but ended up spending more than thirty years as an officer in India’s Intelligence Bureau, retiring as its Joint Director. All through his highly decorated career, he handled the sensitive Pakistan and Counter-terror desks, when he got a first-hand exposure to fighting the threat of Islamic terror that many Western readers were to remain blissfully unaware of till the tragic events of 9/11. After his retirement, he went back to his original love, and became a bestselling creator and a recognized and highly respected authority on security matters. He kicked the bucket in May 2012, and his son, Amazon.com bestselling creator Mainak Dhar, is now bringing his work to readers world wide.
