Growing up I was never a history buff. But my deep education (or interest) into politics, has led me to read a lot of history in the past few years. Especially contemporary history, the past 100 years. I have finished books on WWII, Indian politics and the state of the nation.
So was very keen to read "The Murderer, The Monarch & The Fakir" by Appu Esthose Suresh and Priyana Kotmaraju.....
Its a new exploration of the assassination of Bapu, or "aims to be a new exploration".
I actually did not enjoy it much at all. Except for some bits here and there, nothing really got my goat. It does not conclusively say anything, it does not draw you into another possible world (which history should do).
So overall 6/10. I would not recommend this read to anyone.
Brings my 2021 reading total to 4214 pages.
