Dr. B.Pattabhi Sitaramayya A Political Study
"This book is not the familiar, dreary, doctoral thesis, but an informed and vital political biography of a leader whose career has been undeservedly neglected of late."
..THE SUNDAY STANDARD
"I have read your biography of Dr. Pattabhi with sustained interest, partly because of my interest in him and partly because of the objective way in which you have written it."
..Editor National Herald
"Dr. Prasanna Kumar deserves all congratulations on having produced a concise and close-knit biography, which is not only reliable but eminently readable in its style."
..THE HINDU
"The author has marvelously brought out the assessment of the life and work of this stalwart national leader of eminence equal to Gandhiji, Nehru, Sardar Patel and Rajaji. The younger generation will be inspired by going through this book."
"The Andhra scholars also have a tendency to side with one or the other in their assessments. Not all scholars, though Dr. A. Prasanna Kumar, the author of ‘Dr. B. Pattabhi Sitaramayya-A Political Study’ is an exception … Complete with references, bibliography and index, Dr. Kumar’s assessment of Dr. Pattabhi, based on research of quality, is objectively sympathetic and perceptively critical…..Dr. Kumar clearly realises the responsibilities of a political biographer and rises to the occasion. The Pattabhi who emerges from Dr. Kumar’s study is a thoroughly endearing character."
P.V.NARASIMHA RAO YEARS OF POWER
"Mr. Narasimha Rao in State politics forms the theme of four chapters contributed by Prof. A. Prasanna Kumar. Being a leading political scientist he has taken a very objective view of the happenings in Andhra Pradesh over the years. His analysis of the politics of Andhra Pradesh preceded by a brief history of the State and its leaders is inspiring. Those who are not familiar with the State will find his review extremely informative."
..The HINDU September 7th, 1993.
"Prof. A. Prasanna Kumar, who authors all four chapters in part one, has done an excellent professional job."
"Chapter IV of the book on Rao as the chief minister of Andhra Pradesh is rather revealing."
"The First section has several redeeming features, covering as it does years of the Prime Minister’s political life that are not very well chronicled elsewhere.The chapter on Andhra Pradesh and the role that the caste factor plays in State Politics is better written than are many of those that follow."
.. The Statesman,July31,1993
