F
lor six decades J.R.D. Tata lieaded India's largest industrial conglomerate with uncommon
success. This was only one aspect of his life. He was also a man of great sensitivity who suffered at the loss of friends and was pained by the poverty he saw around him; a philanthropist who wanted India to be 'a happy country' and did all that he could to make it so; a man with a passion for Uterature, fast cars, siding and, of course, flying.

The Joy of Achievement: Conversations with J.R.D. Tata
F
lor six decades J.R.D. Tata lieaded India's largest industrial conglomerate with uncommon
success. This was only one aspect of his life. He was also a man of great sensitivity who suffered at the loss of friends and was pained by the poverty he saw around him; a philanthropist who wanted India to be 'a happy country' and did all that he could to make it so; a man with a passion for Uterature, fast cars, siding and, of course, flying.
The Joy of Achievement records JRD's thoughts on a variety of subjects. In these pages the legendary industrialist speaks of the House of Tatas and his style of management, about how he nearly joined the freedom struggle in the early 1940s, about the 'thrill of living a Utde dangerously', his love of music and wine, and the writers he likes to read. He speaks also, with striking candour and insight, about the failures of socialism, the future of India, and his association with stalwarts like Nehru, Jayaprakash Narayan, Vallabhbhai Patel, Indira Gandhi and Henry Kissinger. Towards the end of the book, in the final year of his life, we see him come to terms with death, God and the afteriife.
With the same affection and discretion that marked Beyond the Last Blue Mountain,
his bestselling biography of JRD, R.M. Lala gives us an entertaining, intimate, and, finally, deeply moving portrait of a truly remarkable human being. Vissza
