Description
Shivshankar Menon—former National Security Adviser and Foreign Secretary of India and one of the most distinguished strategic minds in the country's recent history—examines the five most significant foreign policy choices made by India since independence, providing the most authoritative and the most analytically rigorous account available of the decision-making that has shaped India's place in the world. Written with the inside knowledge of someone who has participated in the highest levels of these decisions and the intellectual honesty to assess their consequences, this is essential reading for every student of Indian foreign policy. A landmark work of strategic analysis.
