Story4.5 out of 5 stars 12
On 23 May 2019, when the results of the general elections were announced, Narendra Modi and the BJP-led NDA coalition were voted back to power with an overwhelming majority. To some, the numbers of Modi's victory came as something of a surprise; for others, the BJP's triumph was a vindication of their belief in the government and its policies. Irrespective of one's political standpoint, one thing was beyond dispute: this was a landmark verdict that deserved to be reported with intelligence and without bias. Rajdeep Sardesai's new book, 2019: How Modi Won India, does just that.

Gives you a deep understanding of Indian politics
Reviewed: 10-03-21
If you want to go behind the scenes and really understand what makes the world's largest democracy tick, this book is it. You have to have some basic knowledge of Indian politics as this book assumes you are at intermediate or advanced level. There are chapters where Sardesai could have given the reader a bird's eye view rather than the detailed statistics (i struggled to stay awake at these points) but the subject matter is very interesting.
I think Sardesai has been quite unbiassed even though it is clear that Modi now has an antagonistic relationship with him.
The sheer depth of what the Modi Shah duo have achieved is well documented here. Overall a great chronicle on Indian politics.

An expert, story-driven account of how Coinbase won the cryptocurrency game and set itself up to lead the future of banking and blockchain-based trading. This is the story of the people who made Coinbase, per PitchBook, “one of the most valuable startups in the US,” including the stoic, preppy founder and CEO Brian Armstrong and the bitcoin-obsessed former lumberjack Olaf Carlson-Wee, who turned their backs on the first generation of wild-eyed Bitcoin prophets to build something more profound and practical.

This was an education on cryptocurrency and blockchain

The crypto world to me was an enigma before I listened to this book. If you would like a good book to introduce you to the world of blockchain and bitcoin, ephereum and other shitcoins this is a good book to read.
