Description
Ram Jethmalani has been called many things-a legal legend, a wizard of the law and a magnet for controversy with a knack for defending the most notorious figures in India. In a career spanning the entire history of independent India, and still going strong, he has managed to command respect and evoke anger in equal measure. But did that he is the most pro-Israel politician in Asia; one of you know the founders of the prestigious National Law School, Bangalore; one of the first to raise the issue of corruption in India; founder of the Sunday Guardian in the late eighties; one of the longest-serving parliamentarians; and that he was married to two women at the same time?
In The Rebel: A Biography of Ram Jethmalani, Susan Adelman, a long-time friend, presents the most updated, authentic and detailed account of his life. Peppered with personal anecdotes, unknown facets of his life and insider titbits, the book reveals the man behind the larger-than-life persona of Ram Jethmalani.
