The Tryst Betrayed: Reflections on Diplomacy and Development

Trama

In The Tryst Betrayed, former Indian foreign secretary Jagat Singh Mehta looks back on an eventful career which began on the day after India's independence. In his lucid and informative style Mehta sheds light on Nehru's prophetic assertion of ideological agnosticism (named Non- Alignment in 1946) and its distortion by the accidental overlap of decolonization with the Cold War.
