Summary: Many retired diplomats have written about their experiences in the Indian Foreign Singh's Undiplomatic Memoirs' is unusual for its allegiance to truth, however, unpleasant. The memoirs are an unvarnished tale of honesty and deception, of meanness and magnanimity, and above all, of the glittering facade of diplomatic life.
