Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Gopal's biography remains the most scholarly as well as authorized work to appear on Nehru. Its value lies in its comprehensiveness as well as its close look at how Nehru's mind was shaped by Indian politics, by colonialism, and by his birth within an elite professional class.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply Beautiful, May 27, 2000
By Secret Agent Booker (Michigan, U.S.A) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Jawaharlal Nehru [Volume 1]: A Biography. Vol. I, 1889-1947 (Hardcover)
This is truly a great biography. Gopal writes with thoughtfulness and class. It tells about the joys and pains in Nehru's life in a original fashion. The insightfulness and portrayal of characters are just too good. The only single drawback I can think of is that there is not a very distinct clarity about events in Nehru's lifespan. But other than that, it's a good read for those interested in Indian politics.
