Books by Mani Shankar Aiyar
Ven to an ex-IFS civil servant watching from the sidelines, the publication of the third volume of Mani Shankar Aiyar's autobiography (if you count his second book on Rajiv Gandhi also as a memoir), A Maverick in Politics, covering his political career and life from 1991 to 2024, must rank as an event in political biography in India. Part self-defence in the court of public opinion, part confessional, part living historical record, it is unusual in many ways.
