Abdul kalam is the main character of this book. It covers early life of Abdul kalam
and his work in Indian space research and missile programs. The author, by
narrating his life journey evokes the reader to identify with one’s inner fire and
potential, for he was the firm belief that each one of us was born with the strength
and potential to make terrible changes in the world. How he inspired himself to
achieve his dream and how he went about accomplished so much is what the book
captures nicely.
The book recollects mant ancdotes and stories from childhoods, his time at school and
collage, he wrote the time spent st the LANGLEY RESEARCH CENTRE, nasa and
wallops flight facility gets a lot of attention. It tells a lot of behind the scenes
information and technical details about India’s satellite and missile :- (slv-3) Prithvi,
Agni, Trishul, akash, nag. Book contains many of his poem. The second half of the
book deals with the author, the who made a significant contribution in developing the
Country’s guided missile programs, a pioneering effort of the security of the nation.
It’s not with the reason that he was nicknamed the “MISSILE MAN OF INDIA”.
MY OPINION
This book is the best inspirational book I have ever read. This Book is best suited for reading for
teenagers and youths, to dream and to dare. It shows, how a person from a modest background
ends up being the first citizen of a nation of one billion. In this book, there is something that
everybody can extract from and worthy of being read by every Indian. A very detailed description
of how great things can be archived through simple thoughts. All should read this book for not
only knowing what this legend did for his nation but also for acknowledging that one can make
their dreams come true if he wills to do so. I will suggest never miss reading this book.
