War Heroes who destroyed Prabhakaran's dream

The book titled Prabhakarange Eelam sihinaya sunu visunu kala ranaviruwo is the second book written by its author J. F. Ranjith Perera to evaluate the contributions made by the heroic security forces, to eradicate the ruthless terrorism of the LTTE from our motherland.

The first book titled 'Winning an unwinnable war, A tribute to the War Heroes' was written by him to evaluate the contributions made by political leaders and commanders of the respective Security Forces and their officers in the suppression of terrorism and its leadership. The second book written by the author in Sinhala to appreciate the selfless sacrifices made by the heroic soldiers of the respective security forces described as Ranaviruwos were the brave young men who carried guns to the battle field against a band of ruthless terrorists amidst many natural and other artificial obstacles placed by the terrorists to prevent the movement of the advancing security forces.

In this process, approximately 28,000 young men of the heroic security forces sacrificed their lives and approximately 10,000 of them became permanently disabled.

If not for the selfless sacrifices made by them, Mother Lanka would not have continued to be a sovereign state with its territorial integrity intact. In addition, they sacrificed their lives to make us live safely.

Hence this book is dedicated to these heroic men as the author is of the view that the whole nation should be grateful to them for their outstanding contributions which had qualified them to be 'Sri Lanka's national heroes of the 21st century'.

The author is of the view that this book should be in the possession of every heroic soldier who participated in the humanitarian operation as a memorable souvenir as it had recorded their remarkable and outstanding achievements to save our country from the scourge of terrorism which ravaged our country for nearly 30 years and retarded its development.
