A clear resume of the intricacies and cross currents of political agitation in India, and an evaluation of the career of Jawarhal Nehru. Nehru, born in a wealthy Brahmin family, educated in England, was drawn into the anti-British struggle from human sympathy and through keenly trained historical sense and economic understanding. Travel, practical experience as President of the Indian National Congress, all has broadened his interests and given him a broader base for constructive contribution to India's problems than Ghandi. This is one of the books in India the layman can read.
