The dramatic decade attempts to uncover the dramatic events of 1970s in a undramatic fashion. Book this book, despite coming from a person deeply involved in the political events of the country, fails to uncover the relatively unknown aspects of the decade. Rather the author has relied on parliamentary records, articles of some renowned newspapers to substantiate his point, consequently the book appears more of an unbiased academic piece of work rather than a story by an insider. The book also straddle across different time frames which might make the author confused in some occasions.
It is an average read. Helps you to look at the political events of 1970s from Congress's point of view. However the book stays away from all possible controversial episode making it bland.
