Manohar Parrikar was India’s first IIT-qualified Chief Minister. But that description doesn’t capture even a fraction of his achievements. He used his natural brilliance to serve the country, first as a committed grass-roots volunteer, then as four-time popular Chief Minister of Goa and finally contributed to strengthening India’s national security as Defence Minister between November 2014 and March 2017. Nitin Gokhale, one of South Asia’s leading strategic and defence analysts, became acquainted with Parrikar quite by accident during the latter’s stint in New Delhi, but by sheer coincidence the two became very close friends. This book is as much a personal tribute by the author to his friend, as an honest attempt to capture the persona of Parrikar the man,the politician and patriot. Through the eyes of his family, friends and countless admirers the book dwells deep into his early influences, his journey from a small village in Goa to one of the highest posts in the country.
