Gandhi’s mother and president of Congress, Sonia Gandhi, also seems to find mention in the memoirs.
The NYT review said in the memoirs “we are told about the beauty of men like Charlie Crist and Rahm Emanuel, but not about the beauty of women, except in one or two cases, as in the case of Sonia Gandhi.” Former US Defense Secretary Bob Gates and former Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh appear to have a kind of impassive integrity, the review states.
He added that Russian President Vladimir Putin reminds Obama of the tough and cunning neighborhood bosses who used to run Chicago’s machinery. “Physically, he had nothing special,” Obama writes of Putin. The 768-page memoir, expected to hit the stands Nov. 17, chronicles Obama’s childhood and political rise, before diving deep into his historic 2008 campaign and his first four years in office. Obama was the first African-American president of the United States. He visited India twice as President of the United States, in 2010 and 2015.
