Book Review : ‘Wings of Fire’ by Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam (with Arun Tiwari)

Title, front page and back page : ‘Wings of Fire’ is the autobiography of Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam, the ‘Missile Man’ and former President of India. The front cover shows his smiling portrait, and the back cover gives a short summary of the book with words of praise.

Language, features and contents : The language is simple, clear and inspiring. The book traces his life from a humble childhood in Rameswaram to his work at DRDO and ISRO, the SLV-3 launch and the Agni and Prithvi missiles. It is divided into parts such as Orientation, Creation, Propitiation and Contemplation.

Pictures, quality and presentation : It has black-and-white photographs of his family, teachers and missions. The printing and paper are of good quality, and the presentation is neat.

Values, vision and variety : The book teaches hard work, humility, teamwork and patriotism. It shares his vision of a developed India and offers variety — science, life lessons and poetry.

I strongly recommend it to every student. Rating : 5/5.
