About the Book In a country where political memoirs, especially by those who are still active in politics, are rare, this book is bound to be regarded as a landmark. The book captures the politics of India spanning eight decades tracing Advaniメs growth. But itメs not a historianメs account, itメs that of a participant. From his childhood in Karachi to his joining the RSS in 1942, the trauma of Partition, his meeting with Atal Bihari Vajpayee ラ Vajpayee has written the foreword to the book ラ and the days of the Jana Sangh, the Emergency, Ayodhya, Rath Yatra, his stint in the Government as Home Minister and Deputy Prime Minister, the Agra Summit, Kargil and terrorism and the recent controversies including his falling out with the RSS in 2005 over his Jinnah remark.

*Self exultation
Review by Nakkiran
Advani's much adoed autobiography- "My Country, My Life" - appears to be a strenuous attempt at self exultation and uncinscionably treading on many persons' toes!
One wonders as to why the hero of rath yatras has gone in for memoirs!
It is obvious that he has taken pains to rub off the memory of people that Advani is a rank Hindutva hardliner and replace it with an amicable propfile!It is regretted that his verbal calisthenics
are sure to prove couter productive!
To save his skin , he scratches that of another without any qualm or restraint!
Shakespeare said that "Truth and Murder will be one day out!"
Gujarat pogrom was revealed long ago!The reason behind demolition of Babri Masjid has been recently let out by Uma Bharathi! "Advani made people become emotionally involved, but he very coolly took political mileage of it only!"
*Advani's Labour Lost
Review by Prof.M.Nyamathullah
It is intriguing that the hero of rath yatras has chosen to bring out his memoirs on the eve of the general elections.
The sudden announcemnet that he would be the BJP's candate for the post of' PM of democratic and secular republic of India', made him hit upon this plan.
Little did he think of the consequences of writing and publishing 986 pages auto biography, spanning over tumultous 66 years of political life, in a matter of 217 days and price of Rs.595, in these days of high inflation!
In his overt act of polishing his image and erazing the public image of his own, he has unconscinnably treaded on many toes and has run the risk of losing friends!
It appears that he wants to get credit for all good done by BJP in power and put blame on Atalji's and others' laps!
Thanks to his verbal calisthenics,he overshoots his own image and dwarfs others! At one point he says that Atalji became PM in 1999, because he condescended!That Govt. survived for five years because of :"There Is No Alternative (to Atalji)!"
He has proved a poor chronicler of events like kandhar, demolition of Babri Masjid and Gujarat riots!
There are too many incongruities and inconsistencies in his explanations.
Kushwant Singh has aply remarked"Ghost burial that was not to be!"
The recent comment of Uma Bharathi that whle Advani triggered the emotional explosion of people in connection with the demolition of Babri Masjid, yet he remained cool and calculating its political pay offs!
A person who had such a pathological aversion to children of politicians taking part in politics, has made his own daughter take the centrestage in book release functions!
Despite the best efforts, Advani's "My Country, My Life",it is feared, might go down as "Advan's Labour Lost"!
