Book Summary of Turning Points: A
Journey Through Challenges

It was like any other day on the Anna
University campus in Chennai. I had delivered a lecture Vision to Mission and the session got extended from one hour to two. I had lunch with a group of research students and went back to class. As I was returning to my rooms in the evening the vice- chancellor, Prof. A.Kalanidhi, fell in step with me. Someone had been frantically trying to get in touch with me through the day, he said.
Indeed, the phone was ringing when I entered
the room. When I answered, a voice at the
other end said, The prime minister wants to
talk with you ... Some months earlier, I had left my post as principal scientific adviser
to the Government of India, a Cabinet-level post, to return to teaching. Now, as I spoke to the PM, Atal Bihari Vajpayee, my life was set for an unexpected change.

Turning Points takes up the incredible Kalam
story from where Wings of Fire left off. It
brings together details from his career and
presidency that are not generally known as he
speaks out for the first time on certain points
of controversy. It offers insight not only into
an extraordinary personality but also a vision
of how a country with a great heritage can
become great in accomplishment, skills and
abilities through effort, perseverance and
confidence. It is a continuing saga, above all, of
a journey, individual and collective, that will
take India to 2020 and beyond as a developed
nation.
