This is not only a great book about Nehru, but gives an excellent explanation of historical events that shaped Nehru's life. The reasons behind the events are explained very well. A must read, if you are interested in Jawharlal Nehru.

A refreshing comprehensive biography by one of the formost scholars in India about one of India's great freedom fighters. If one wants to avoid orientalist lies such as Stanley Wolperts biography, then MJ Akbar's book is for you.
excellent biography
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
this is a book about the architect of a nation Jawaharlal Nehru. He is the one who made free India a country that can now be proud of itself. Akbar's book is one that captures the gist of this great man's life and it is a joy to read. Akbar, one of the premier journalists of India, has shown us exactly how important Nehru and Gandhi's role was in the independence struggle of India and the insights it provides are extraordinary. On the whole a brilliant and thought-provoking book.
