Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
This is a highly personal portrait of one of the most controversial -- and misunderstood -- figures in Indian politics, V.K. Krishna Menon. Drawing on a family archive of letters, personal recollections and interviews with Menon's friends and colleagues, Menon's grand-niece, Janaki Ram explores his contribution to the Indian freedom struggle, to formulating Indian foreign policy and to setting India on the path of self-sufficiency in defence requirements. She attempts to put into
perspective various controversial events Menon had a role in, such as the Chinese debacle and the Kashmir debate. The book provides numerous glimpses into Menon's personal life, including little known aspects such as his belief in astrology and his romantic attachments. It includes a number of rare
photographs.
