This is first ever biography of the father son duo Iftikhar and Mansur Pataudi. It is written by an experienced journalist Kishin R. Wadhwaney, who has secured unprecedented information and details to narrate the story of a fine family. The Nawab cricket legends and Bollywood stars. It is a magnificently written book. It is a comprehensive biography. It is exhaustively researched. This is a view of half-a-dozen stars, who have had an occasion to go through the manuscript. In the words of Pradyot Lal, an excellent cricket analyst it is a fine work, encompassing areas way beyond narrow streets of Indian sports. Abbas Ali Baig, Mansur\'s colleague in his brief foreword says it all about the book that is to be written. Between the two son outclassed his father. What Mansur achieved with one eye, no other sportsperson had done it. Had he not lost vision in one eye, he would have secured unprecedented records in the annals of the game. (jacket)
