This book is a first-hand account of the fires that raged in Kerala when sparks from the eruption of peasant agitation in Naxalbari in Bengal fell on its soil. It narrates the unknown stories of the initial Naxal initiatives, that included attacks on the Thalassery - Pulpally police stations. This is an authoritative research work, based on interviews with Naxal activists, court documents, police records and newspaper reports, that has been rendered in a very readable style.
