APJ Abdul Kalam : Wings of Fire - An Autobiography

Wings of Fire: The Inspiring Story of A.P.J. Abdul Kalam
From a Small Coastal Town to India's Missile Man

Wings of Fire captures the extraordinary journey of Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, the son of a modest boat-owner from Rameswaram, Tamil Nadu, who rose to become one of India's most celebrated scientists and the recipient of the prestigious Bharat Ratna.

This powerful memoir recounts Kalam’s relentless pursuit of excellence in the field of defence research, leading key projects like Agni, Prithvi, Akash, Trishul, and Nag—missile systems that propelled India onto the world stage as a formidable technological power.

More than a personal story, Wings of Fire is the saga of India’s quest for self-reliance in technology and defence, a tale woven with scientific ambition, national pride, and political challenges both domestic and global.

A profound narrative of determination, innovation, and patriotism, this book continues to inspire generations to dream big, work hard, and serve the nation.
