5. WINGS OF FIRE is an autobiography of Dr. A P J Abdul Kalam written jointly by Abdul Kalam and Arun Tiwari. It covers the life of Abdul Kalam before he became president of India.

6. Theme Of The Book It is based on the travelling of a person from middle class boy to missile man of india and president of India, its also the story of strugule with life, story of faith, story of different religion live happily in india, it’s a story of man for whome his nation is his religion, love.

7. Book Contents Abdul Kalan is the main character of the book. The book covers early life of Abdul Kalam and his work in Indian space research and missile programs. It is a story of a boy from a humble background and became the key player in indian space research and missile programs and became the president of india.

8. The book covers a lot of "behind the scene informationn and technical details about India’s satellite and missile program (SLV-3, Prithvi, Agni, Thrisul, Akash and Nag). Space and missile programs are huge complex projects and managing them is extremely challenging. The book does give a glimpse of the participatory management technique adopted by Kalam, but at the same time it doesn’t go into details.

9. Kalam is a poet and is a huge fan of poems. The book contains many of his own poems and his favorite poems. Here is an example, – Do not look at Agni as an entity directed upward to deter the ominous or exhibit your might. It is fire in the heart of an Indian. Do not even give it the form of a missile as it clings to the burning pride of this nation and thus is bright.

10. Book Review DR. A P J ABDUL KALAM once dreamed of doing something for his nation, he decided to follow his dreams and started his journey from his small town. On his way he faced many mountains of troubles but he kept on going just with the will of completing his dreams of doing something for the nation. He helped India to make their own missiles through his knowledge this gave him the title of ‘ Missile Man ’ he was also the president of India from 2002-2007. He died on 27 th July 2015 ending up his dreams by not doing something but did many things for the national. He is a perfect example of the phrase “ Where there is a will there is a way ”. I will request all of you to read this book for not only knowing what this legend did for his nation but also for acknowledging that one can make their dreams come true if he wills to do so.

11. Moral Of The Book One of the things that stands out throughout the book is Kalam’s positive thinking. The secret to his success seems to be his ability to ignore negative things around him. Similarly one should ignore all the negative things around him in order to succeed.
