Sardar Patel was one of Indias strongest and most dynamic leaders. This book examines the extraordinary contribution of Sardar Patel in the creation of a strong and united India. It details his unflinching support to Gandhis satyagrahas, his role in overcoming challenges to Congress unity, his farsightedness in the formation of the Indian Administrative Service, the integration of over 560 princely states and his visionary views on Kashmir, China, Tibet, Nepal. The book also includes rare and unpublished correspondence with select top-ranking ex-bureaucrats and army chiefs to flash new light on the role of Patel in post-independent India.
