Aide-de-camp (ADC) of the then King Birendra Shah, Sundar Pratap Rana, has for the first time come forth with his account of one of the darkest days in the country’s history — the royal massacre that happened 18 years ago. His experience of that day and his relationship with the royal family have been brought together in a book that will soon be available to the readers.
आखिरिमा युवराज दिपेन्द्रलाई नै दोषी ठहर्याउदै पुस्तकको अन्त्य हुन्छ, अन्य दरबार हत्याकाण्डका पुस्तकझैँ। थोरै नयाँ जानकारी, धेरै पुराना जानकारी अनि लेखकको सफलता, असफलता र हल्काफुल्का दरबारिया रहनसहनको योगफल हो समग्र पुस्तक। राजपरिवारबारे जिज्ञासुहरुको लागि राम्रो खुराक हुनसक्छ।
So much of emotions, so much of information and so much of questions! A must-read! I had a hard time keeping down the book at the first and last part as it gives an overview of the royal massacre. I am very thankful to the author for sharing his 17 years of experience with the Royal family. I'm sure he had a hard time reminiscing his precious moments with His Majesty, especially the six minutes drive to Chhauni Army Hospital from the Narayanhiti palace after the massacre.
सँधै जान्न मन लागेको घटनाहरुको सरल लेखन। दरबारको आरोह अवरोह, ससाना रमाइला, निजी कुरा जुन आमनागरिकलाई सँधैं चासो हुन्थ्यो तर सुन्न पाएका थिएनन् तेस्ता रमाईला पलको बयान। जुन उदेश्य वा आशाओं पढ्न सुरु गरियो त्यो चै पुरा भएन। घटनाक्रम प्रत्क्षयदर्शी भएरपनि कस्ले घटना घटायो भन्ने लेखकलाई थाहा नहुँदा पाठकलाई अधुरो लाग्छ।
Very useful book to know about the history of royal family and events around royal massacre. I miss King Birendra very much. He was real patriot and good king. But unfortunately he had tragic end. Written in very simple language and easy read. Recommended for every Nepali..
