Ashwatthama, a character from the Mahabharata era, who received the boon of immortality, has described these events. Sanjaya, with his divine vision, had delivered the live report of each and every incident to blind Dhritarashtra going in the battle field of Kurukshetra between the Kauravas and the Pandavas!
Further the book shows that how in contrast, Ashwatthama, who himself participated in the Mahabharata war as a warrior from the Kaurava side, wandered through the ages in search of peace, taking the unbearable agony and pain of an incurable wound on his forehead that is the symbol of punishment for his merciless offence. He though a guilty himself, is describing the background of the Mahabharata war and the innumerable deceits those paved the path for the great devastation and the deceitful actions during the battle as well. He presents the post-war trauma and distorted picture of Hastinapur Empire caused in the name of Dharma Yuddha.
