<p>This book deals largely with those aspects of the working of the Research and Analysis Wing (R&amp;AW), of which the author had personal knowledge while serving in the organization for 26 years. The book traverses through India’s contemporary history—most importantly the 1971 war; insurgency in the Northeast, Punjab, and Kashmir; the Emergency; the war in Afghanistan; and the intelligence imperatives and dispensation under Indira Gandhi, Morarji Desai, Rajiv Gandhi, V.P. Singh, Chandra Shekhar, and Narasimha Rao. Written with the purpose that a knowledge of the role played by R&amp;AW in those events would possibly enable a better understanding of its strengths and weaknesses, it painstakingly avoids over-statements, exaggerations and spins.</p>

Terrorism is a threat, a modus operandi, and a phenomenon. A resolution of the UN General Assembly after 9/11 designated it as a threat to international peace and security. As a modus operandi, from a largely one-dimensional threat of the years before the Arab-Israeli war of 1967, it has evolved into a multidimensional threat. As a phenomenon, it has many dimensions-political, economic, ideological, and operational. Even the profile of a terrorist keeps changing. The terrorists of yesterday were seen as misled youth from the exploited or wronged sections of society. An increasing number of the terrorists of today are educated and come from well-to-do families. They are self-motivated and technology savvy. Their ability to add sophistication to their methods of operation surpasses the skill of the security agencies. This book seeks to contribute to the task of understanding terrorism as it is evolving.
