 ==Subhas Bose Biography==
 His book, ''Brothers Against the Raj'' is widely regarded as the definitive biography of [[Subhas Chandra Bose]].{{Sfn|Kling|1904|p=155|ps=: Quote: "Leonard Gordon has written the definitive biography of Subhas Chandra Bose, one of the most enigmatic personalities of modern India. Within it he has incorporated the biography of Subhas Bose's less famous older brother, Sarat, who studied at Lincoln's Inn, practiced before the Calcutta High Court and was a leading parliamentarian. The result is an unbalanced book, but it succeeds because the brothers' lives were so intertwined. The dual biography also reminds us that even so idiosyncratic a political figure as Bose was an integral part of a large Calcutta family whose support was essential to his career."}}{{Sfn|Hayes|2011|p=232|ps=: Quote: "Bibliographical Essay: ... The best biography (of Bose) is undoubtedly Leonard A. Gordon's ''Brothers Against the Raj'' ..."}}{{Sfn|Framke|2012|p=364|ps=: Quote: "Bose’s collaboration with the Axis powers during the Second World War has produced an extensive body of research literature (see a. O.
 Sareen 2007 and 1996; Kuhlmann 2003; Weidemann 2002; Zöllner (2000)13, but there are also studies available providing a full biographical overview such as the magisterial work of Leonard Gordon."}}
-However, the book has also been criticized for not being sufficiently critical of Bose's alliances with European [[fascism]] and [[Japanese imperialism]].{{citation needed|date=September 2015}}
