'Looks at an important but neglected topic from an unusual perspective. The main thesis is consistent and is supported rigorously with well-researched data. Furthermore, use of the American presidential administration as the unit of analysis allows the individual tone of each administration to emerge, and it emphasises the significance of personalities in decision-making' - Millenium 'Invaluable.... provides a comprehensive historical account beginning with the establishment of direct diplomatic relations between the United States of America and India, then part of the British Empire, in 1941.

Synopsis
Tracing the relations between India and the United States from 1941 to 1991, this historical account finds that the differences between the two countries stemmed less from lack of dialogue, misperceptions or misunderstandings than from fundamental disagreements over basic national security policies. This book is organized chronologically, with chapters dealing with each American president from Roosevelt to Bush.
