Indira Gandhi
Courage Under Fire

Read in the book the personal tragedies and political crises that stalked her throughout her life. How in spite of being a democrat she turned a despot for nineteen months; how then she shed the totalitarian mantle in a defiant reversal to the democratic norm. How she lost her next election, but rose from the ashes of defeat into rule again. Learn how this charismatic leader was always at home - be it with the international elite or with the masses - a ruler for all her faults, who sought to see India achieve greatness.
