Customer Reviews

Good in pictures, quotes and childhood detail

Book is written keeping in mind teenage readers. I picked this book since I wanted to know what outside of India world think about her. It certainly helped me to that end. This book contains quite a good number of photographs, interesting quotes and detail of her childhood and career in politics in neutral tone. However in the end author becomes judgmental and passes a judgement with which fan of her may not agree. Also, authors affiliation to USA can be sensed when talking about influence Gandhi wielded on Indo-US relationship. I recommend this book who have never known Mrs Gandhi or known her vaguely.
