Description
In recent years, this is the first book of its kind which has dealt with the tantalizing triangular relations between India, China and America and its multifaceted possibilities.
Covering a span of over fifty years, the book delves into Sino-Indian, Sino-US and Indo-US relations , which witnessed many historic ups and downs during this period. Based on the personal experiences of the author who was an active participant in this developing drama, it combines an analysis of strategic, p0litical and economic developments, and their impact on the lives of ordinary people and intellectuals. The author was a keen observer and played a significant role in shaping the relations between Nehru's India, Mao's China, Khrushchev's Russia and the USA, as his country's representative.
An unconventional and unorthodox diplomat who wrote frankly and without inhibition, he was both revolutionary and realistic, idealistic as well as pragmatic while dealing with concrete questions and situations.
