Poorly written book on a wonderful life Pratip Mitra This book on JRD Tata is extremely one sided. Reading it gives you the impression that the author has deliberately chosen to ignore actions which are controversial or not so palatable. I do not think a biography should be written in this way. No personality is black or white, invariably it is grey; and an objective biographer should neither try to idolize nor put down his subject. Maybe it is a problem with all biographies written during the subject's lifetime. Especially in cases where the biographer has secured the cooperation of his subject and feels it would be letting him down if he were to pu. inspiring A Customer His achievements are undeniable, and the book is an enlightening read even though the biographer's style does nothing to help the reader. How I wish someone like David McCullough could do justice to JRD's unique life!. JRD was a real visionary. I am very very JRD was a real visionary. I am very very much impressed by his leadership qualities, for me he is a legend in the Indian business and industrial community. There is no one who can come closer to his abilities.Any one interested in Indian industrial development should read this book.
