   Introduction (1992 printing) begins: "Abhimanyu, like a
   shooting star, illuminates the horizon of the Mahabharata
   epic for a few moments and vanishes in trails of glory." --
   Summary from back cover: The Kauravas had made a fateful
   error. Lusting after their cousins' kingdom, they
   underestimated young Abhimanyu's determination and ability
   to defend it. Brilliantly distilled in this handsome and
   much-loved Pandava prince were his father Arjuna's courage,
   Lord Krishna's wisdom, and the patience, strength and
   gentle humility of his uncles. Even as he thwarted his
   enemies' ambitions, Abhimanyu earned their grudging
   admiration and a very special place in the saga of the

   beauty, and he became a proud tyrant who refused to see the
