One Life Is Not Enough by K. Natwar Singh

3.0

I did not have high expectations and was not disappointed. A career diplomat and a politician to boot, Natwar Singh is circumspect in how he narrates his life stories. I am astounded that his wife Hem does not feature in the latter part of his life, nor does his beloved son Jagat's late wife, who was found dead (/murdered? according to some select uncharitable sources) in Hyatt Regency Hotel, Delhi.

Natwar on doubt was an important member of the IFS and MEA and was closely associated with the Nehru-Gandhi family until being turfed by Sonia. However, he makes it appear as if all the Prime Ministers and other dramatis personae on the global stage relied on Mr. Natwar Singh's analyses and astute recommendations to help resolve or influence policies, strategies and world affairs. He has presented his side of the story eloquently and in a pithy tone.

He remained a strong personality until the very end. May he rest now in peace.
