Indira Gandhi: Revolution In Restraint Vol I 1917-1971

The story of Indira Gandhi is the story of a family, a tradition, a country in travail. It is riot the story of the growth of a political party but of a movement for freedom. It is not the story of one person but of a family that stood as a symbol. It is not even the story of one country but of a colorful, hating, warring, loving subcontinent in revolt. Against this perspective, the author has written the first comprehensive biography of Indira Gandhi. It is based on personal interviews with the prime minister, with her prominent political colleagues, and with her relatives and close friends. An extensive use has been made of unpublished correspondence from the Nehru Papers.
