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. 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. (Biographical History/Military).
