JEH - A Life of JRD Tata - Bakhtiar K Dadabhoy (2005)

Little is known about the visionary of Indian industry who has established many firsts of industrial India. Lived through the ups and downs of political changes that underscored India in prominence of Nehrvian vision, Indira Gandhi, short periods under Janata Dal and early parts of liberalisation in India. The aviation man, father of Air India and first official pilot licensee in India definitely needs a lot to be praised for. The book although short and seem a bit dated provides a great details of the works and life of the legendary. The style is fast, a breeze read and very little on preaching.  An overall good informative read.
