He tells more than the story of his life, though that is quite a tale in itself. His memoir captures much of the experience of his country as it moved from the Raj to independence to its emergence as a major power. This is a book that should be read by anyone who cares about India's importance--and that should be everyone. Strobe Talbott. This book tells Singh's fascinating personal story and gives his no less fascinating account of what as an emerging power India has had--and still has--to live through: the big-power politics and the small-power politics. It is an education. Sir V. S. Naipaul Author InformationJaswant Singh is an authority on Indian foreign policy and national security.
