520    The Accidental Prime Minister is Baru s account of what it
       was like to manage public opinion for Singh while giving 
       us a riveting look at Indian politics as it happened 
       behind the scenes. As Singh's spin doctor and trusted aide
       for four years, Baru observed up close Singh s often 
       troubled relations with his ministers, his cautious 
       equation with Sonia Gandhi and how he handled the big 
       crises from managing the Left to pushing through the 
       nuclear deal. In this book he tells all and draws for the 
       first time a revelatory picture of what it was like for 
       Singh to work in a government that had two centres of 
       power. Insightful acute and packed with political gossip, 
       The Accidental Prime Minister is one of the great insider 
       accounts of Indian political life and a superb portrait of
       the Manmohan Singh era.
