Journalist and columnist Sagarika Ghose’s sought after biography of Atal Bihari Vajpayee finally has a paperback edition, and after the glowing reviews, we can’t wait to get our hands on it. Based on interviews with Vajpayee’s closest confidants, this book traces his political journey to become India’s first non-Congress Prime Minister to serve a full five-year term, which led to BJP’s subsequent dominance. It also examines his complex stances — from Hindutva to liberalism — and a member of the Sangh Parivar who had an unconventional personal life. The book also showcases the poet within the political strategist and is one of the most intimate examinations of the man who ushered in a changing of the guard.
