Katherine Frank has written the comprehensive biography of Indira Gandhi whose title is, 'Indira: The life of Indira Nehru Gandhi". This is a controversial book written after doing well research by drawing unpublished sources. It is a balance portrait of Mrs. Indira Gandhi & great tribute to Indira Gandhi. It is very much informative to those who do the study of post independent period of India.
From Yogesh Gogwekar :
Indira Gandhi brought up during the era which saw the rise of Indian Nationalism. Her father was great nationalist & first Prime Minister of India. She was not her father's choice to lead India; but her destiny was to play an important political role in Independent India. During her tenure, she had given some remarkable performances by creating Bangladesh, launching first nuclear test , annexation of Sinkkim to Indian Union, success of green revolution movement, drawing up Line of control between India and Pakistan to resolve border disputes and improving relationship with USA , RUSSIA & Other countries. Still her strategic & ethical failures , ruthless actions against oppositions , centralizing the powers, imposing state of emergency & raiding the Golden Temple which brought end to her life are overshadowing her good work.
This book is in three parts which presented both sides of Indira Gandhi. That is known side which was propagated by media & unknown side which is nothing but her personal life before coming into politics. This book provides unbiased account of her life by giving facts & true events of life.
It is really fantastic book to those who wants to understand the events which made Indira Gandhi an extraordinary women before her entry in politics & after entering in politics & becoming third Prime minister of India.
After reading this book, readers have to decide whether they want to appreciate her or Abhor her. Do not miss to read.
