Forgive Me Amma

Author: Sundeep MisraPublisher: Wisdom TreeYear: 2007Language: EnglishPages: 249ISBN/UPC (if available): 8183280935 DescriptionIn a nation deprived of good sports literature, Forgive Me Amma comes as a breath of fresh air. Written in the author's unique style, the book takes the reader to the thick of action, be it on the lush green astro turf, or in the middle of an enthusiastic crowd, or at the highly charged press conferences. Precise, objective and highly readable, the book succeeds in not only presenting the enigmatic legend Dhanraj Pillay in all his fame and fury, but also documents the tumultuous journey of Indian hockey during the times he played.ContentsAcknowledgementsForeword1.
