Offers a vantage view of Indira Gandhi's leadership from 1981 till her assassination, and Rajiv Gandhi's taking over as Prime minister in October 1984. This work presents insights into her role in the dismissal of the first communist government in Kerela in 1957.
The book gives a first person account on the last few years of Indira Gandhi. I would say it's more about sir PC Alexander's personality that we get to know and understand through this narrative.
