Sahara: The Untold Story (2014) - Tamal Bandopadhyaya

The author has done a very balanced presentation of the facts related to the Sahara case. If you have been in the thick of business or legal cases in recent years Sahara case is hard to ignore in any manner. As far as the book goes there is an associativity presented with the Peerless case. The scale of Peerless case is no comparison to the size of Sahara. Overall Sahara still remains an enigma in it all. I am sure it always will as much with people as much to regulators and law keepers. I found the text a very well researched balanced view with both regulator and Sahara's view points represented well. The overall story telling is a definite plus. Although, Sahara disclaims the presented facts in the beginning of the book in my opinion there is no easy way to present a case where decisions are still pending.

Worth reading in my opinion.
