It's one of the greatest books. Person who is interested in political history of our country after Gandhi should try this one. Important thing I have to mention here is in this book every details were balanced perfectly. If you are writer and you are writing about a book on country's political history it is very difficult to maintain balance in every geographical area. For example if I am from south India and when I read the book I should not feel my area is not covered that much in country's political history book. This book outmaneuver it.
