In this book Retired Indian foreign secretary Jagat Singh Mehta takes back readers on zigzag journey of his carrier and his life which started on the day after India’s independence. It definitely was the most exciting part of Indian diplomacy when the country faced unforeseen challenges. The writer was overwhelmed by the decision making spontaneous ability of Nehru ji but had vividly elaborated upon the limits of our iconic leader.
Although book reveals the haphazard decision making and preconceived notions of policy makers which is interesting to read at times , the book becomes boring in the middle and tempts one to skip these middle pages. In the end this book unfortunately is more about authors self glorification , not worth recommending to others, this book is certainly avoidable .
