My Country, My Life is a riveting, insightful and assertive account of Advani's fight for democracy during the Emergency, his Ram Rath Yatra for the reconstruction of the Ram temple at Ayodhya that resulted in independent India's biggest mass movement and a nationwide debate on the true meaning of secularism and his year as India's Deputy Prime Minister and Home Minister in the Vajpayee-led government of the National Democratic Alliance between 1998 and 2004.
