Book Summary – 
The Accidental Prime Minister: The Making and Unmaking of Manmohan Singh is a political memoir that offers a behind-the-scenes look at Dr. Manmohan Singh’s tenure as India’s Prime Minister from 2004 to 2014. Written by his former media adviser and spokesperson, Sanjaya Baru, the book provides an insider’s perspective on the functioning of the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) and the complex power dynamics within the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government. Baru portrays Dr. Singh as an honest, intellectual, and reform-minded leader who often found his authority constrained by the Congress party’s high command, particularly Sonia Gandhi. The narrative highlights the challenges Singh faced in balancing political realities with his economic vision, offering a candid account of leadership, governance, and the interplay between politics and bureaucracy in modern India.
