**Summary:**
"The Accidental Prime Minister" is a book that created a sensation when it was published in 2014. Written by Sanjaya Baru, who served as Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's media adviser and trusted aide, the book provides a revelatory account of Manmohan Singh's first term in the UPA government. It delves into Singh's often complex relationships with his ministers, his cautious interactions with Sonia Gandhi, and how he navigated significant crises, from managing the Left to pushing through the nuclear deal.
The book is packed with political anecdotes and offers valuable insights into Indian political life from an insider's perspective. While the Prime Minister's Office labeled it a work of "fiction," the book was widely hailed by the press for its candid and revealing portrayal of events.
