About the Book: Walking with the Comrades
Deep in the forests, under the pretence of battling Maoist guerrillas, the
Indian government is waging a vicious total war against its own citizens-a war
undocumented by a weak domestic press and fostered by corporations eager to
exploit the rare minerals buried in tribal lands. Arundhati Roy takes readers to
the unseen front lines of this ongoing battle, chronicling her months spent
living with the rebel guerrillas in the forests. In documenting their local
struggles, Roy addresses the much larger question of whether global capitalism
will tolerate any societies existing outside of its colossal control.
