A good book to read . It gives enough data about modern world leader, dictator, situation. Fan of Indira Gandhi also given a chance to buy it and read it. Author has good style to project reality and situation in his light heart mode. One of My Famous Chapter in this book is Counter with Reagon and our officers intellectualism . Curious about IFS officer's world attracted me to read it.

First impression - this book should be renamed as 'Walking With Nehru Dynasty'. On almost every page of this book you will find the author showing his loyalty to Nehru dynasty. I expected that writer being a former IFS and Foreign Minister will give more insights into foreign policy matters but he only provided details of his meetings with foreign heads and famous people. Very light book, you can take it to your holidays and read it. Don't expect too much.

The book is a recollection of the author's experiences as an IFS officer and later on as a cabinet minister. Highly informative, the book gives us accounts of incidents that are almost unknown to the outside world. However, the book is not so interesting and is best suited for a light reading. The author's praise of Mrs. Indira Gandhi is a bit overdo.

Highly informative. chapters could have been arranged chronological. great insight into how the diplomatic world works and protocols are religiously followed. a further insight into how diplomatic negotiations take place would have added value to this work instead of a mere pass time reading.

Interesting light reading. But Natwar Singh's liking for Gandhi family and his dislike for some others comes out quite clearly in some of the narrations - a pity for he could at least have given some objectivity to the writing as it would be in public domain. Nothing intellectual but it gives some interesting information and nostalgia to those who grew up seeing some of the world leaders in the news reels at the cinemas and in the magazines and sometimes in the DD. It remains at the end a ...

When I read about this book duri

Heard about a lot about this book..eagarlyvwauted for this....but bit disappointed with it...still ...its okay to have one time read..

interesting and informative, but it does show authors inclination towards nehru gandhi family, sometimes even to the level of sycophancy

K. Natwar Singh is always a delightful read. This title is a selection from his diplomatic sojourn all over the world. "Walking with Lions", one didn't know how the foreign potentates tested the mettle of Indian diplomats. The shenanigans of Margaret Thatcher with an Indian soothsayer was ever more interesting. Does India's future PM has one of his own?

Personal experiences are well narrated with a tinch of humour and is very informative !
Read in a library completely but couldn't stop myself in adding it to my shelf.
