Even though it's a short book, the content gave me a hard-read and it took me awhile to complete. (But the interest in current politics of Kerala kept me going, just to know how the present-day political scenes in Kerala were evolved).
After going through this book I pondered and was really amazed to recall the course and chain of events that took place before November 1, 1956. But I must say, this book is strictly academic.
