Product description

In the fourth volume of the Paradise Afire series, Adrien Fontanellaz offers a vivid, uncompromising account of one of South Asia’s most ferocious modern conflicts: the third Eelam War in Sri Lanka, fought between 1995 and 2002. Drawing on a wealth of sources - including rare LTTE publications, firsthand interviews with former Tamil Tiger fighters, and extensive Sri Lankan military records - this volume reconstructs the brutal campaign that unfolded in the island’s northern theatre, as government forces and insurgents battled for control of territory, resources, and legitimacy.

Through clear, compelling narrative, Paradise Afire Volume 4 charts the evolution of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) from a guerrilla movement into a formidable semiconventional army. It details how the Sri Lankan Armed Forces, stretched thin and wracked by political pressures, sought to reclaim the strategically vital Jaffna Peninsula - only to be met by a determined and deadly adversary deploying coordinated assaults, suicide commandos, and devastating defensive strategies.

From the catastrophic Sea Tiger raids on Trincomalee to the tank battles of Elephant Pass, and from insurgent ambushes in the Vanni jungles to the aerial duels involving newly acquired Kfi r and MiG-27 strike fighters, the book offers an unprecedented look at modern warfare in a complex and deeply fractured society. Fontanellaz’s careful attention to operational detail is matched by a balanced presentation of both sides’ perspectives, providing readers with a rare understanding of the conflict’s human and strategic dimensions.

Augmented by detailed maps, original artwork, and striking photographs, this volume brings to life the intense fighting, shifting tactics, and tragic consequences of a war that claimed tens of thousands of lives. It avoids political simplification, focusing instead on the realities of combat and the transformations of two opposing forces in a fight neither could truly afford to lose.
