A HISTORY OF VISAKHAPATNAM

Pages  : 248

Navuluri Venkateswara Rao is a Telugu writer with a score of short stories and a novel to his credit; obviously, this book is a departure from the genre and language. A conventional historian may find the way the book is written unconventional in certain respects. An effort is made to make it readable and interesting to the general reader as well. It unveils various facets of the city’s past. The coincidence of the proposal to make Visakhapatnam, an ancient human habitation, the executive capital of Andhra Pradesh and the birth of this book is notable.
