The book deals with the functional dynamics, and the operational mechanics of the Indian Foreign Office from its inception to date. It has filled the gap in information about the implementation of India's foreign policy by providing a detailed analysis of the procedures and functional dynamics of the Ministry of External Affairs. No book in the past, to the best of one's knowledge, has made such a thorough study of MEA and its operations at so many levels as Inside Diplomacy. Many truths are told that should embarrass the Ministry; many revelations are made, that come as shocking surprise to the public... The book abounds in stories, some amusing, some shocking but almost all highly educative.
