        The Bangladesh Liberation War was nearing its bloody end when Colonel Ashok Tara, then a twenty-nine-year-old major, was assigned the task of rescuing 'Bangabandhu' Sheikh Mujibur Rahman's family being held hostage by the Pakistan Army. Ashok Tara, unarmed, entered the lion's den and negotiated with the hostile soldiers for the safe release of the family that included a young Sheikh Hasina.

        The Lone Wolf is Ashok Tara's story, charting the course of his celebrated yet quiet life as a member of the armed forces. Neha Dwivedi's writing expertly captures the hero's humble beginnings and his life-altering experiences, and offers a blow-by-blow account of a seminal event in South Asian history. As much as it is the story of Colonel Ashok Tara's bravery, it is also the story of a bleak-yet-victorious period in Bangladesh's quest for freedom.
