About This Item
New York: The John Day Company, 1941. First edition of Nehru's classic autobiography. Octavo, original cloth, illustrated. Boldly signed by Jawaharlal Nehru on the title page. Near fine in a near fine dust jacket. First editions are uncommon, especially signed. This autobiographical book was written by Jawaharlal Nehru while he was in prison between June 1934 and February 1935, and before he became the first Prime Minister of India. Diplomat Walter Crocker said, had Nehru not been well known as India's first prime minister, he would have been famous for his autobiography.
