About this listen

Kumar Nair moves to Singapore after being dismissed from a British paramilitary unit for refusing to disperse unarmed women agitating for India's independence. But war breaks out and the Great Depression destroys his fledgling business.

After the fall of Singapore, he joins the secret Indian Swaraj Institute (Swaraj means self-rule) espionage school set up by Japanese Intelligence and the rebel Indian National Army in Penang, Malaya. When several cadets trained at the school are betrayed by a double agent, Kumar is sent on a rescue mission. But while the Japanese want Kumar to continue the mission with surviving agents, Indian leaders ask Kumar to save as many as possible and hunker down until the war ends.

Inspired by a true story, The Swaraj Spy will take you on a thrilling adventure through time and history.

Vijay Balan is a gifted storyteller who combines his deep knowledge of history with his penchant to weave an intriguing tale. The book kept my interest throughout, even transporting me to the scenes, thanks to Balan’s vivid stage-setting skills. I would call it as a “page turner”, even though I listened to it on Audible. The narrator also did a wonderful job. All in all, I recommend this work highly for a front-row seat to a remarkable personal journey while also getting a refresher on World War II from the South-East Asian perspective.
