Jawaharlal Nehru : A Biography
This third and final volume of Sarvepalli Gopal's biography of Jawaharlal Nehru covers the last eight years of his life and Prime Ministership- It deals with his efforts to sustain the economic and social advance of the Indian people and not to lose hold of the principles of his foreign policy even while relations with China deteriorated, culminating in large scale aggression in both the western and the eastern sections of the long boundary between the two countries. In the short term, Nehru, striving over the years to transform India into an open, modernized and forward-looking society, seemed to have suffered severe setbacks: but this book enables us to appreciate the enduring elements in his achievement.
Sarvepalli Gopal's biography is written from first-hand knowledge of Nehru; whom he served for ten years in the Ministry of External Affairs, and with the advantage of unfettered access granted him by Indira Gandhi to her father's papers. Like the first two volumes it is more than an account of a personality, and the whole will serve as a definitive study of both the man and his age.
