Reception
Columnist Harshil Mehta called the book “an invaluable resource” and “a must-read for scholars, policymakers, and anyone interested in the intricate interplay between leadership and geopolitics in the contemporary world” in his review for Firstpost. However, Mehta remarked that the book was somewhat specialised and many points in its essays were indistinguishable.
