Jawaharlal Nehru: Rebel and Statesman by Formerly Director B R Nanda

Jawaharlal Nehru, adulated during his lifetime, first as the most charismatic leader of the Congress party during India's freedom struggle and subsequently as independent India's first Prime Minister, has in recent years suffered ill-informed denigration. This book provides a balanced picture of Nehru the man and statesman by placing his career within the social milieu and political context of his times. This re-evaluation focuses particularly on significant aspects of Nehru's life. The author traces the development of Nehru's nationalist ideas, and discusses his interaction with significant personalities of his time such as his father Motilal Nehru, Gandhi, Bose, and Azad. A concluding overview brings together and analyses the complex strands of his multifaceted personality and astonishing career.

B. R. Nanda, renowned author and historian, has been a member of the Indian Historical Records Commission, a trustee of the Jawaharlal Nehru Memorial Fund and the Gandhi Memorial Society, and Chairman of the National Gandhi Museum at Delhi.

He is presently editing the series, Collected Works of Lala Lajpat Rai.
