Summary: The first-ever book to focus on those who shaped India's foreign policy - from Raja Ram Mohun Roy to Yashwant Sinha. In this brilliant .jnsightful book, J.N.Dixit chronicles the role of those who have played an important role in fashioning and implementing India's foreign policy since and before independence - right up to the 12th SAARC summit in Islamabad in January 2004. In doing so he fulfils a major gap in the study of Indian foreign policy, for he focuses not just on the Nehru-Gandhis but also on those who are less well-known, including diplomats an policy advisers. In the process Dixit gives us an understanding of the factors that shaped India's foreign policy at given points of time - the international situation, the domestic compulsions, and the happenings in India's neighbourhood. Most fascinatingly, however, he shows us how India's foreign policy was linked to the personalities and beliefs of the men and women who happened to be at the helm of affairs.
