"This book examines India-America relations during the period 1942-1962 and critically examines the orthodoxy that assigns a limited role to America in shaping the imagination of post-colonial India. The author examines the role of American ideas, experts, funds, international relations and strategy in shaping India's social, economic and educational institutions. The book covers an important aspect of contemporary history and presents a fresh perspective based on authentic records"--
