The book is outstanding on all counts: facts, research, racy reading never permitting a dull moment, yet not straying from the well-researched content. Conveys complex issues in simple language. The prologue as the curtain raiser makes the reader involved and interested. The book will serve as a good backgrounder and a ready reckoner to auditors. The depth of knowledge and detail is commendable. The issue of crony capitalism which has gripped the country so comprehensively: this subject has been clinically analyzed in chapters 10 and 14 very effectively. All in all, a must read. Strong on content, narration and objectivity. A commendable effort. I compliment the lead writer and both the supporting authors.
