The book gives you wide-ranging glimpses of Jawaharlal and his multi-faceted personality as a politician, a statesman, a leader of men, a freedom fighter, a builder of modern India, a writer, a historian, a poet, a philosopher, a democrat and a lover of peace. A noted American professor, Norman Cousins, has rightly remarked that Nehru was not one man, but "he was a procession of men," as in him you witnessed many distinct and different personalities. The book also gives you a profound understanding and appraisal of Nehru by Gandhi, which has a distinct value of its own, as no other person ever came to be so closely and intimately associated with this Colossus of the age, in all walks of his life and at all levels, as did the Mahatma. Intrestingly, the reader will also have before him a highly revealing picture of a gradual growth and unfoldment of Jawaharlal’s charismatic personality and the wonderful transformation it underwent, almost imperceptibly, step by step and day by day, under the benign, ever-loving guidance of his master, and also under the powerful, moral and spiritual impact of our national struggle for freedom in which Jawaharlal played such a stellar role.
