Hope And The Reality : U.s.

This book charts the relationship between the evolving governments of independent India and concurrent US presidential administrations. The contributors provide in-depth analyses of the motivations, external constraints and ideological agendas that characterized Indian-US relations in a given period. Organized on a presidency-by-presidency basis, this book not only elucidates the unique factors in the respective administrations, but also traces the evolution of persistent themes of expectation and disappointment in the context of the post-war world order.
