Atal Bihari Vajpayee, one of India's sharpest politicians, is known for negotiating multiple contradictions: from militant nationalism to his secret family life; his stint as a communist; his indulgence in food; influence of Gandhi and Nehru; Narendra Modi and Gujarat issues; foreign policies; and his attempt to project himself as a moderate face, if not a liberal. Exploring crucial milestones of Vajpayee's career and his traits as a seasoned politician, this book looks at his relationship with political leaders of his time and his love-hate association with the RSS and its feeder organizations.
