Reviews

Like all good biographers, Choudhary informs us not just about an individual but about the world they’ve inhabited and how they’ve contributed to shaping it. In this regard, this exemplary biography may become the definitive work on Vajpayee, placed in a different league from other recent hagiographic or more speculative accounts of his life. The second volume is eagerly awaited.
