Great Game In Afghanistan

At the height of the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan a complex multinational diplomacy had proposed setting up a coalition government in Kabul as a solution to the 'Afghan problem'. Even as all sides worked on the coalition the US took steps that India considered a 'stab in the back'.

With the help of the official papers collected by US ambassador John Gunther Dean and conversations with Ronen Sen Rajiv Gandhi's diplomatic aide during those crucial years the author recreates the falling apart of the India-US cooperation and the catastrophic effect it had on South Asian history.
