‘An exceptionally well-written book’ Ian TalbotIn over three
decades as a police officer, Kirpal Dhillon handled some of the
most challenging assignments in independent India, from
anti-dacoity operations in Madhya Pradesh to revamping a
demoralized force as police chief of Punjab in the aftermath of
Operation Blue Star. These memoirs describe his experiences in
fascinating detail, and present vivid portraits of a range of
people, including sadhus and swindlers, maharajas and brigands,
scheming politicians and back-stabbing colleagues.There are
evocative descriptions of his village in Punjab, of Partition, and
of the leaders he worked with, such as Nehru, Indira Gandhi and
Morarji Desai. He writes with insight and expertise about
terrorism, law-and-order problems, the training of administrators
and policemen, and what can be done to ensure that they function
with greater autonomy, accountability and humanity.
