The book is a chronological compilation of the author's diplomatic experiences when during his foreign service career he was involved in seven unconnected negotiating responsibilities. No other officer was entrusted with comparable burdens but he acknowledges that they came to him by bureaucratic happenstance. Most negotiations were with unequal neighbours which required anticipating the perceptions (and misperceptions) of the sovereign partners. Suspicions justified or exaggerated of coercion and hegemonism had to be assuaged. Mehta also recalls the personalities of select colleagues and negotiating opposite numbers the ablest amongst whom was Chang Wen Chin his Chinese counterpart. According to Mehta dueling all day intellectually but toasting each other's nations after sundown symbolizes the unique calling of professional diplomacy. 296 pp.…
