Manohar Parrikar was among the few from Goa who made it to the national level. He held the defence portfolio in the Narendra Modi government from 2014 till 2017 before returning Goa, to take over the chief minister’s post, a post he previously held on two occasions. An Extraordinary Life: A Biography of Manohar Parrikar chronicles the life and times of this bureaucrat-turned-politician.
This biography, by veteran journalists Sadguru Patil and Mayabhushan Nagvenkar, claims to be a “nuanced and sensitive narration”, and an “insightful and captivating read, complete with the informed voices of his relatives, friends, foes, bureaucrats and IIT contemporaries”. It is a well-researched look at the long and chequered career of Mr. Parrikar, an RSS volunteer who went on to become the Defence Minister of India.
