An anthology of gripping narratives, ‘Kisi Vitekath Sathurata Yatath Novena Ma’ (I who would not dare to give in to the enemy), a novel that speaks of heroic saga of the Special Forces (SF) in the Army was released Wednesday (12) morning during a special ceremony at Waters Edge Hotel, Battaramulla.
The dramatic chain of those narratives in the book as retold by both SF officers and soldiers alike to its editor, Brigadier H Ranasinghe, SF Brigade Commander was presented to Secretary Defence Mr Gotabaya Rajapaksa, who graced the occasion as Chief Guest along with Commanders of the Army, Navy and Air Force and a host of senior tri-service officers and invitees.
Major General A.K.S Perera, Colonel of the SF Regiment presented the first copy of the book to Mr Rajapaksa. Chief of Defence Staff and Tri-service Commanders received the copies afterwards.
Mr Gotabaya Rajapaksa in his brief oration to the occasion recalled the exceptional and priceless commitment as well as sacrifices of the SF troops towards the liberation of the country from grips of LTTE terrorism.
The novel ‘Kisi Vitekath Sathurata Yatath Novena Ma’, written in an attractive diction speaks of a string of battlefield experience of SF officers and soldiers, particularly during the peak of LTTE terrorism in a manner that does not affect tactical strategies and other vital information, related to its operations.
Prof Chandrasiri Palliyaguru who has written the foreword to this first ever collection of heroic acts and battlefield experiences of the SF troops delivered a brief introductory address to the gathering.
Deviating from the traditional format of a book, generally released by a regiment or any other formation, this book sums up real ground experiences of several living SF War Heroes and disable SF officers and soldiers.
