Trade Review

‘A stunning biography. Indira Gandhi was voted Woman of the Millennium, and yet her story is of a woman pushed into the public eye by men, corrupted by power and assassinated by those she should have trusted best – her own bodyguards.’ Jenni Murray, Sunday Times

‘Well researched, convincing and impressively fair to its subject.’ Philip Ziegler, Daily Telegraph

‘A fascinating account of how an unpromising, if privileged, girl came to lead the world's largest democracy. Anyone who wants to get to the heart of this extraordinary woman (and the extraordinary country which she mothered, cajoled and eventually came to embody), could not do better than read this accomplished book.’ Kathryn Hughes, Mail on Sunday

‘Moving and revealing.’ Victoria Schofield, Financial Times

‘An important study…compelling and humanly sympathetic.’ Sunil Khilnani, Sunday Telegraph

‘An excellent biography.’ Geoffrey Moorhouse, Guardian

‘A fascinating, rigorous highly readable study.’ Caroline Macdonald, Scotsman
