Read more Customers Review:A very interesting and well researched book on Krishna Menon, his life, achievements, as well as his many shortcomings. Compared to some of the other books on VKKM, this one is impartial and nonjudgmental and exposes the many deals, dealings and happenings behind the scenes during the Nehru years. A good resource book for those studying Nehru, Menon and the journey between the first world war, the Indian independence and the Indo China War 1962. Nevertheless, so much is still left in the dark room that Menon was, and so many books have been written, uncovering or lighting up just a couple of corners in that room. There is so much more that time will uncover. | |
