From making a precarious entry into the world during a Japanese bombing raid scare during the Second World War, to occupying exalted positions in the Indian and UN administrations, Prasada Rao's life of more than eight decades or thousand full moons, traverses through the history of British and Independent India, intertwined with the country's growth story. Intended for the millennials and later generations in the family, the narration is not just of himself but his 100 strong extended family through these eventful years.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - He was born under World War II bomb threats and rose to advise the United Nations. November 1944. King George Hospital, Visakhapatnam. Antiaircraft flares light up the night sky. A newborn is hidden under a hospital cot by frightened nurses, shielded from the chaos of World War II. That infant was J.V.R. Prasada Rao. Over eight decades and one thousand full moons, he became an IAS officer, headed district administrations, navigated India's Health Ministry, led HIV/AIDS programs across Asia-Pacific, and worked directly with the UN Secretary-General. His family grew from a village in Srikakulam, Andhra Pradesh into a diaspora spanning five continents. This is not just one man's memoir. It is the story of a generation that carried India's independence on its shoulders and built the nation that exists today. Through personal narratives, family histories, and a front-row account of India's evolution, Prasada Rao takes readers from colonial Andhra Pradesh to the corridors of the United Nations. Perfect for readers of An Era of Darkness by Shashi Tharoor and India After Gandhi. N° de réf. du vendeur 9798899299742
