This book is a collection of articles written by author. For a new rookie looking for information on the LTTE and Lankan conflict, this is a good book as it gradually details out the history of the conflict. One is able to trace the developments through the articles and learn a lot about the conflict, specially when the conflict is off news after the fall of LTTE.
The author is demonstrably against Prabhakan, the legendary commander of LTTE and makes no bones about the fact that he was responsible for ultimate fall of not just LTTE but entire Lankan tamil community. While there is element of truth, many other factors would have contributed to this complex quagmire. Not able to expose this web of complexity is where this book falters. It gives a very simplistic view of rise and the fall of LTTE.
The articles can get repetitive on many occasions with same information presented page after page. Sometimes, this could also help a reader remember key events.
In any case, this book is worth a read on Lankan tamil conflict.
