Dalmia was a force of nature who flashed across the Indian business firmament like a meteor, only to end his life in the ashes of ignominy following a conviction for fraud. But the public persona of the tycoon is only half the story. In this gripping biography, author Neelima Dalmia Adhar—who brings her background in Psychology to bear on the narrative—peels back the layers of a man who was an unsettling mixture of puritanical restraint and reckless profligacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003eMore than just a chronicle of high-stakes corporate deals, this book looks behind closed doors at the domestic nightmare of a man who reportedly terrorized his own family of six wives and eighteen children.
