Abstract: Those who knew him intimately agree that despite his prominence, MP Koirala was inaccessible and introvert by nature. This is why there is added value to this work, and it is rare in any case for Nepali politicians of his stature to write reminiscences. Highly respected by those who knew him closely, and even by his adversaries, M P Koirala on several occasions went against the political current and avoided taking populist position. This was perhaps why he ultimately became isolated in politics.

Abstract: The continuing saga of the Nehru family, of the vicissitudes of Jawaharlal, Indira, Sanjay and Rajiv, has been, for hundreds of millions of us, an obsession spanning more than three decades.

It has often seemed that the story of the Nehrus and the Gandhis has provided more engrossing material than anything in the cinemas or on television, a real dynasty than Dynasty, a Delhi to rival Dallas.

Abstract: This book is a story about the children of the dark decade. It is about their journey over the precipice and black. There are ten of them who do their telling here. One is the son of the man who was at the helm of it all, the larger than life figure who inspired jihadi zeal in Punjab. There are others who became his foot soldiers. Then, there are the children living in the shadow of the father, who, fired by the collective angst over operation blue star, shot down the Indian prime minister he was duty-bound to protect. Some have made their peace with life, the others are still searching for it, but each has a fascinating story to tell.

Author:
Edition Year: 1989
Cover: Hardback
Subject: Autobiography/Biography
Language: English
Editedby: Sonia Gandhi
Abstract: This book covers the year 1922 to 1939 and shows us the changing relationship between father and daughter. The letters throw new light on character of Indira Gandhi and personality and on how these developed from a very early stage. Letters are conversation on paper but more revealing. Shyness of Indira Gandhi and sense of privacy made her express herself more freely on paper than in person. Therefore her writings, particularly her later ones, are carrying a greater charger of poignancy and revelation.

Title: Hitler and His God: The Background to the Hitler Phenomenon
Author: Georges Van Vrekhem
Edition Year: 2007
Cover: Paperback
Subject: Autobiography/Biography
Language: English
Abstract: This book is about the Hitler and His God. Hitler remains an enigma in spite of everything that has been written about him. Historians like Alan Bullock, Ian Kershaw and HR Trevor-Roper confess their perplexity openly. How was it possible that an unknown, solitary and futureless front-soldier in 1918 became, some years later, the leader and Messiah of the German people? How could a nullity unleash the most destructive and deadliest war humanity has ever known?
