Wings of fire a must read book. I personally think this is the best book for students. Mr. APJ Abdul kalam is the truly inspiration for for everyone specially students. My friend recommended this book and I'm glad he did. In starting he tells us about his early life like where he spend his childhood and also mentioned his family members, neighbors. Then he shared his experience in space program and military defense programs. He also mentioned ISRO in it and there are many pictures. As we move forward in book she shares all his experience how he felt when he got tons of awards and give us a vision of 2020. In the start when Mr kalam was a child he always have a keen interest in science. Luckily he got mentors which carried him forward in the direction of science and space. He was the first person of India who sees the great potential in Indian space and development programs. Mr kalam was the optimistic person and because of the vision that Mr kalam has that time India became self sufficient in space and rockets technology.'Missile man' the second name of Mr kalam and the reason is his contributions in missile and space programs. He writes about the story when he used to sell newspapers to help his brother. He also write about when he stayed in temple which was few kilometers from his house. He also mentioned there that because of financial challenges the life was not that easy and because of financial challenges he faced many problems in his education also. ISRO, prithvi, agni and many more on which every indian is proud of and all the credits goes to Mr kalam. The book however does not cover the presidential days of Mr kalam because this released before he became the president of India. Overall it's truly inspiration book which show an amazing journey of the amazing and inspiration man. As I said before must read book for students.
