Quite a page-turner of a book on how American foreign policy has impacted the Indian subcontinent over these past few centuries. Yes, you read it correctly - centuries, not mere decades! Starting from when United States, the first ship to visit India in 1784 to the entanglement of recent decades when terrorism, neo-liberalism, Nehruvianism and GDP growth mix in like a heady cocktail, echoing the apt title of the book - "Fierce Enigmas".

My Rating - 5/5

A stirring account that would undoubtedly instill a sense of pride in the heart of every Indian. Mr. Raghavan has done a commendable job of chronicling the perils and perditions which India faces militarily and strategically in a seamlessly connected world.
