This book is a must read for all the history buffs out there as Nehru remarkably covers the rise and fall of empires and civilizations,discusses great men who made a difference to the world we live in. I was awe-struck by the breadth of Nehru's knowledge and his understanding of history's lessons. And to think of the fact that this book came out as a series of letters from a dingy old Indian prison where Nehru did not have any recourse to reference material you are filled with admiration for the man.
As things stand I'm still mid way through this book and I think I will be as spell-bound by the second half as I was by the first one. Ciao.
