Description
P.V. Narasimha Rao—one of India's most important and most intellectually serious prime ministers—presents in this semi-autobiographical novel a barely fictionalized account of the highest levels of Indian political life, offering the most insider and the most honestly observed account of Indian political culture available in novelistic form. Written with the authority of someone who has actually occupied the rooms he is describing and the literary intelligence to understand what he observed there, this is essential reading for every student of Indian political history. An important and unique document.
