“They were not expected to behave like the terrorirsts they were hunting. Even in the thick fog of war, the law-abider and the law-breaker must be distinguished.”
The blurb on the inside cover of the book sets the tone of the what the book is setting out to reveal and say.
Josy Joseph has written a detailed, investigative account of how the security agencies of the country have been used by political powers to subvert democracy and chart a path of it’s decline.
The Silent Coup is a spine –chilling, eye- opening document on the vast abuse of power and distorted aims and results. It goes on to expose how the dictatorial and autocratic security agencies have run their own reign of terror in it’s hunt of terror.
The book is a treatise of facts (well researched) covering a wide range of milieus –Kashmir, Sri Lanka, Punjab, Northeast, Mumbai attacks and of course Gujarat- exposing the vulnerable times we inhabit.
Shocking stories of draconian power.
Eye-opening accounts of the truth behind the veil of justice.
The book is fast-paced and a must- read for all.
