Much of Crockers points, too especially the implications of the Five Year Plans and of the introduction of democracy to India are particularly relevant today. This book, written shortly after Nehrus death, is full of invaluable first hand observations about the man and his politics. Walter Crocker, the Australian high commissioner to India, admired Nehru the man his grace, style, intelligence and energy and was deeply critical of many of his political decisions the invasion of Goa, Indias Kashmir policy, the Five Year Plans. Nehru: A Contemporary''s Estimate Book Information:Įptive, and startlingly prophetic, Nehru: A contemporarys estimate is one of the finest accounts of Nehru ever written.
