Short and rich

It's not quite an audiobook, but more of a collection of radio reports and interviews. I could've used a bit more structure and context, but just listening to Tully's clear and honest reportage about topics like Indira Gandhi and her sons and their family's rule over Indian politics for decades, and big news stories like the attack on the Sikh temple and the industrial disaster were very informative. I'm eager to learn more about modern Indian history after listening to this.

For Ears Only

I've been going through several books on India's history, and this stands out as a fresh slice of this history. It's great to hear the voices of India's recent past.

Classic excellent Tully on India

To hear Mark Tully dispense his insights of India is a treasure worth keeping - pure brilliance.

less colorful than the dust jacket

Seemed like a random collection of recorded news stories and interviews....with no overriding theme. What I did like was hearing from India leaders in their own voices.
