Turning Points takes up the incredible Kalam story from where Wings of Fire left off. It brings together details from his career and presidency that are not generally known as he speaks out for the first time on certain points of controversy. It offers insight not only into an extraordinary personality but also a vision of how a country with a great heritage can become great in accomplishment skills and abilities, through effort, perseverance and confidence. It is a continuing sage, above all, of a journey, individual and collective, that will take India to 2020 and beyond as a developed nation.
