Ashok Kamte, Hemant Karkare and Vijay Salaskar- the three police officers who shall be remembered forever by a nation shocked at the way they faced the bullets of a handful of terrorists. Kamte’s wife Vinita has tried to probe the events that occurred that dark night and made a commendable attempt to draw conclusions in a scenario where there are no answers available. Had the three martyrs got the right information and medical aid at the right time, they would still be with us to take on the enemies of the country. Of the numerous lapses that occurred, none was greater than these and the author tries, with candid text, to reveal and explore this. In several poignant recollections of their life together, she reminisces about their first meeting, to the years together. The towering personality of a dynamic and devoted police official comes across very effectively in this book, told through the eyes of his wife. This is a book that must be read by every Indian who values his nation’s image and safety. The book also raises several questions about the efficacy of our internal security and tries to be objective at the same time. The book is written by Vinita Kamte and senior journalist Vinita Deshmukh and translated into the Marathi by journalist Bhagwan Datar.
