内容简介
Sarvepalli Gopal's biography of Jawaharlal Nehru is now generally recognized as the standard work on one of the key personalities of the twentieth century. Written from firsthand knowledge of Nehru - whom Gopal served for ten years in the Ministry of External Affairs - and with the advantage of unrestricted access to Nehru's papers, the volumes provided more than an account of a personality and branched out into a definitive study of both the man and the age. This edition makes available the essence of that study in a compact form.
Book 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.

Reviewer: Secret Agent Booker (Michigan, U.S.A)
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.
