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
