Title: Untold Story 1946 Naval Mutiny Condition: New Subtitle: Last War of Independence ISBN-10: 938446452X EAN: 9789384464523 ISBN: 9789384464523 Publisher: VIJ Books (India) Pty Ltd Format: Hardback Release Date: 01/02/2015 Description: A number of books have been written on the 1946 Royal Indian Navy Mutiny but the true story of this historic event remains untold with few facts deliberately suppressed. The Inquiry Commission report gave graphic details of mutinous acts at all the naval stations but it awarded no punishment to the guilty. It glossed over the bad conditions of service leading to the mutiny. It recommended no action against naval administration although bad service conditions were stated to be the root cause of mutiny in the Navy. It was an irony of British Naval Justice that the men voicing these bad service conditions were punished under the Naval Discipline Act. This book attempts to bring out a concise version of the composition and administration of the Navy including its sudden expansion during the World War II. The author's long association with naval counter intelligence has helped him to discern some unknown facts of this mutiny which are reflected in this book. It gives the build up and administrative background of Royal Indian Navy and details of mutinous acts in all stations because of which India did not have to fight any more for its freedom.The book, therefore, appropriately bears the title of Untold Story 1946 Naval Mutiny: Last War of Independence.
