About the Book

The Box Set Contains The Following 3 Titles:

1.) Jawaharlal Nehru: A Biography (Volume - 1)
2.) Jawaharlal Nehru: A Biography (Volume – 2)
3.) Jawaharlal Nehru: A Biography (Volume – 3)

Among the few great statesmen to emerge in Aisa, Jawaharlal Nehru played a decisive role in the history of the twentieth century by putting Indian on the world map as a force to be reckoned with. Authored by one of the leading historians of India, these three volumes provide an authoritative first-hand account of Jawaharlal Nehru and his times. Chronologically arranged, the first of the three volumes discusses Nehru’s early life and ends in 1947. The second focuses on the first nine years of his Prime Ministership, and the third examines the last eight years of his life, Shifting effortlessly between the public and private spheres of Nehru the individual, the politician, and the family man, these volumes are as much a social and political history of their times as they are a biography.

This first volume traces Nehru’s formative years, youth, entry in politics, role in the Independence struggle, and his emergence as a leader of the Congress. It also highlights the role of Kamala Nehru in his life and events surrounding the transfer of power.

Drawing information from rare private papers, this intimate and sensitive portrait of Nehru will be indispensable for scholars, researchers, and students of modern Indian history, and politics, as well as the general reader.
