| | Amazon.com: Books: Nehru: A Biography (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-05) |
 | | Tharoor presents an uncomplicated overview of Nehru's life that is, with rare exceptions, an admiring one. |
 | | True, the author admits, Nehru hung on to power too long, dying in harness in 1964, but the ledger definitely is positive in Tharoor's accounting. |
 | | Tharoor confines his opinions to asides, however, and directly narrates Nehru's personal chronology: his education in England; his arranged marriage and attachment to daughter Indira; and, naturally, his political relationships during the protests of the 1920s and 1930s and the negotiations of 1945-47 that eventuated in such tragedy. |
