The document discusses Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam's background and career, including that he served as the 11th President of India and was known as the "Missile Man of India" for his work on missile technology and his role in India's nuclear tests. It also provides an overview of Kalam's popular books that discuss visions for India's future development and strategies to improve in areas like education, healthcare, poverty reduction, and self-sufficiency. The reviewer notes that while the book describes India's present situation and comparisons to developed countries, the language is not very interactive and could better attract readers by presenting facts in a more hidden way and only providing details when wanted.
