The South Asia Story: The First Sixty Years of Us Relations with India and Pakistan
by Harold A Gould (9788132101215)

This book carries a series of brief sketches on how twelve US presidents since Franklin Roosevelt perceived and dealt with South Asia-most particularly, of course, India and Pakistan, from World War II to present day. It proposes that US foreign policy was influenced by broad political-historical patterns as well as the personal whims and preferences of the elected president at any given point in time. In this way, though political considerations which underlie their individual actions and define their contexts, foreign policy was also influenced by their unique personalities, levels of awareness, and intellectual gifts (or lack of them).
