Description:

Here is a study of a key twentieth-century statesman: Jawaharlal Nehru (1889-1964), one of the Indian nationalists who led India to independence in 1947, and, as Prime Minister from 1947 until his death, steered her through her early, formative years as one of the world's great nations. This is not a life of Nehru - though the biographical details are clearly set out - but a study of Nehru as a figure of power. In it, Judith M. Brown (a leading authority on modern India,) explores a number of related themes. This account will reward anyone - scholar, student and general reader alike - interested in the making of our modern world. It has been written expressly for non-specialists, and not the least of its rewards is the general introduction it provides to the society and politics of India in the early and middle years of the century.
