Another book, ‘Prabhakaran, Oru Vaazkai’, (POV) also in Tamil (Prabhakaran, A Life) authored by Chellamuthu Kuppusamy that was published when the war between the Lankan government and the LTTE gained momentum about 7 months back, has sold more than 14,000 copies. An English version of the book will hit the stands this week.

Similarly, Viduthalai Puligal (VP), (The LTTE) by Marudhan that was first printed 18 months back has sold 15,000 copies."
