### Answer by Harshal Vispute

In the **1980s, The Turbulent Years** begins.**[Sanjay Gandhi](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/93108/how-was-sanjay-gandhi-in-life)** dies tragically; **[Indira Gandhi](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/48546/when-was-the-dramatic-decade-the-indira-gandhi-years-written)** is assassinated not long after; and **[Rajiv Gandhi](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/48555/when-was-the-assassination-of-rajiv-gandhi-an-inside-job-written)**, called **'the reluctant politician,'** is elected **[Prime Minister of India](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/93648/was-subhash-chandra-bose-ji-the-first-prime-minister-of-india)**. \
**Pranab Mukherjee** was present at (and, at times, a participant in) the pivotal events of the **1980s and 1990s**, arguably the most tumultuous period in **India's post-independence history**. He provides new light on every significant political event of the time, from **[Rajiv Gandhi'](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/48555/when-was-the-assassination-of-rajiv-gandhi-an-inside-job-written)**[s](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/48555/when-was-the-assassination-of-rajiv-gandhi-an-inside-job-written) ascension to **[Prime Minister of India](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/93648/was-subhash-chandra-bose-ji-the-first-prime-minister-of-india)** to the rise of **P.V. Narasimha Rao** as a nation's leader; from **Operation Blue Star** to the **Babri Masjid fiasco**, as an insider.\
\
**Mukherjee** is also candid about each of the professional crises that characterized this period of his career, including rumors that he wanted to dethrone **[Rajiv Gandhi](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/48555/when-was-the-assassination-of-rajiv-gandhi-an-inside-job-written)** for the top job; the possible reasons for his removal from Rajiv's Cabinet and, later, the party; and the charge that he aided and abetted the Left by not imposing **President's rule in West Bengal and Tripura in the late 1980s**. \
The **second edition of Mukherjee's autobiography** provides a comprehensive examination of important political and social turning points in India's modern history, as well as an honest account of his years in power and exile. \
**Rupa Publications India published the book on February 1st, 2016**, and it was written by **Pranab Mukherjee**, the **13th President of India**. He is a man with unrivaled governance experience, having served as **Minister of Foreign Affairs, Defense, Commerce, and Finance** at various times.
