Along with the Ramayana and the Puranas, the Mahabharata forms part of the Hindu Itihasa, the written descriptions of the important events in Hinduism. One of the longest epics of ancient world literature, and traditionally written by Ganesha upon Vyasa's dictation, the Mahabharata is especially beloved as the source of the Bhagavad Gita.

In this abridgment of the Mahabharata, Rajagopalachari displays his great flair for story-telling and for the applying of moral stories to modern times. In this book, readers will be captivated by the struggle between two groups of cousins in the Kurukshetra War and the fates of the Kaurava and the Pandava princes and their successors.
