The Presidential Years: 2012-2017

• The most-awaited fourth volume of Pranab Mukherjee’s memoirs, after the bestselling The Coalition Years. • In this first-person account, Pranab da, as he is affectionately called, recollects the challenges he faced in his years as president—the difficult decisions he had to take and the tightrope walk he had to undertake to ensure that both constitutional propriety and his opinions were taken into consideration. • He pulls no punches when it comes to offering his views on contentious subjects, from judicial overreach, the conduct of the president in deciding mercy pleas of death row convicts and the manner in which the then union government handled the anti-corruption agitation led by activist Anna Hazare.
