Indira Gandhi

This first full-length English-language biography of Indira Gandhi presents an intimate portrait of an intriguing personality who until now has beeen shrouded in mystery, in spite of public scrutiny and constant exposure in the political arena. As prime minister of the world's second most populous nation, she has faced and struggled with such diverse and difficult problems as population control, entrenched religious animosity, the specter of mass starvation, and the confusion of dealing with many different language dialects within one homeland.
