To the Brink and Back: india's 1991 Story - Jayaram Ramesh (2016)

Although, most changes in Indian political arena sounds slow moving, it may not be so for the tremulous period of 1989 to 1996. Many political changes significant no of prime ministers change seemed too rapid for India. In these times PVNR and his finance minister Manmohan Singh took the massive economic reforms. Jayaram Ramesh has aptly stated this in the book. Though short and easy read definitely portrays why this period is special to Indian politics and his observations in close quarters as they were taking place. A definite story to understand as the 90s is slowly moving into documented history. Overall, the book is recommended. At places there is an appreciation of ruling party in toto but expected in a book of this nature.
