==Autobiography== In August 2014, Singh's autobiography, ''One Life is Not Enough'', was released.<ref name="thehindu1">{{Cite web |url=http://www.thehindu.com/books/books-authors/one-life-is-not-enough-natwar-singhs-autobiography-to-rock-the-capital/article6116868.ece |title="One Life is Not Enough": Natwar Singh's autobiography to rock the capital – The Hindu<!-- Bot generated title --> |access-date=21 July 2014 |archive-date=20 June 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140620040725/http://www.thehindu.com/books/books-authors/one-life-is-not-enough-natwar-singhs-autobiography-to-rock-the-capital/article6116868.ece |url-status=live }}</ref> The book claims to reveal developments during [[Indira Gandhi]]'s, [[Rajiv Gandhi]]'s, [[P. V. Narasimha Rao|Narasimha Rao]]'s and [[Manmohan Singh]]'s regimes. It also describes the changing contours of Singh's close but complex political relationship with [[Indian National Congress]] president [[Sonia Gandhi]] over the years.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://indianexpress.com/article/opinion/columns/inside-track-kissa-kursi-ka/99/ |title=Inside Track: Kissa kursi ka {{!}} The Indian Express {{!}} Page 99<!-- Bot generated title --> |access-date=21 July 2014 |archive-date=14 July 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140714130107/http://indianexpress.com/article/opinion/columns/inside-track-kissa-kursi-ka/99/ |url-status=live }}</ref> The book presents Singh's account of the Volcker report and the various political motions that took place in the background leading up to his resignation. Congress rejected the allegations made by Singh and targeted him to have distorted facts "after being removed and publishes baseless things". They added that "spreading such sensationalism for shoring up the sale of a book" won't be accepted.<ref name="f224">{{cite web | title=Natwar Singh 'distorting' facts: Congress | website=The Hindu | date=31 July 2014 | url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/natwar-singh-distorting-facts-congress/article6268386.ece | access-date=11 August 2024 | archive-date=11 August 2024 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240811030520/https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/natwar-singh-distorting-facts-congress/article6268386.ece | url-status=live }}</ref> Sonia Gandhi also responded to the book and rejected its contents.
