Summary, etc. It started in Delhi in the early 1980s, when Ramachandra Guha was an unpublished PhD scholar and Rukun Advani a greenhorn editor, and blossomed through the 1990s, when Guha grew into a pioneering historian. Advani was Guha's most constant confidant, his most reliable reader, and he encouraged him to craft and refine the literary style for which Guha became internationally known narrative histories which have made vast areas of scholarship popular and accessible. Built around letters and emails between an outgoing and occasionally combative scholar and a reclusive editor prone to private outbursts of savage sarcasm, this book is never short of wit, humour and droll intelligence"--Publisher's description
