The Rout of Prabhakaran
£30.24
By Narayan Swami. News about Vellupillai Prabhakaran and his Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) militant group were once front-page in every Indian daily for many years till his death in 2009 at the hands of the Sri Lankan army after a bitter and bloody final battle. While Sri Lanka has moved on since then, a post-mortem of those days and events has been wanting. This is a brutally frank post-mortem of the nihilist politics that led to the bloody and brutal end of the LTTE’s founder, Velupillai Prabhakaran, in May 2009. Konark is happy to fill in this much-needed gap with ‘The Rout of Prabhakaran’. Written in a lucid style, the book makes for fascinating reading and will surely be a treasure trove of information on the Tamil ethnic conflict. The book is being published in Sri Lanka and in India.

This is a brutally frank post-mortem of the nihilist politics that led to the bloody and brutal end of the LTTE’s founder, Velupillai Prabhakaran, in May 2009. For too long, the miseries of Sri Lanka’s Tamil minority have been blamed on the Sinhalese, successive governments in Colombo, the Indian State, even the international community, and sections of Tamils within the island nation. This book, based on extensive research and interviews, clears away many cobwebs of a troubled history. It concludes that while the reluctance of the Sri Lankan State to come to terms with Tamil political aspirations played its part, at Prabhakaran’s door lies much of the blame for dragging the Tamil community through three decades of a horrific war for the pipedream that was Eelam. M.R. Narayan Swamy is the author of the best selling "Prabhakaran" and "Tigers of Lanka"
