The Kaoboys of R&AW

An insider’s account of India’s premier intelligence agency, this book offers a rare glimpse into the covert operations, diplomatic maneuvering, and high-stakes espionage that shaped India’s security landscape in the decades following independence. Written by a former top officer, The Kaoboys of R&AW is both a tribute to R.N. Kao—the founding chief—and a gripping chronicle of the agency’s evolution from the shadows.
