Summary Of The Book:
Wings of Fire: An Autobiography is an autobiographical novel
that tells the readers a story about unlocking their inner potential.
Kalam does a great deal to throw light on his journey to igniting the
fire within himself. This book is divided into seven parts, and begins
with an Introduction and Preface. This is then followed by an
Orientation, which contains a quote from the Atharva Veda. After that,
the readers are also enlightened on the incidents that made Kalam what
he is today.
In the Orientation portion of the book, the readers are provided
insights into the birth, childhood, and education of Kalam. This section

program, and making five formidable missiles. These achievements fetched
