This is a good survey of India's clandestine activities. In the West we tend to ignore the concerns of the "poor" countries. Yet, they have their needs for intelligence gathering, analysis and action just like the KGB/FSB or CIA or MI5/6 does or did gor their host nations.In this book, R.K. Yadav, a former R&AW offi cer who joined the agency in 1973, examines the Research and Analysis Wing (R&AW) of India’s foreign intelligence agency. He writes of R&AW from fi rst-hand experiences and through recollections of conversations with senior agency leaders. He reviews the history of India’s external intelligence since Indian independence, and he argues that R&AW now needs reform because the quality of its intelligence has diminished to a dangerous level and the agency is rife with corruption and unprofessional behavior at all levels.The work highlights territory familiar to scholars of
intelligence in general, most notably the power struggles between elected government officials and the external and internal intelligence agencies, R&AW and the Intelligence Bureau, respectively. Yadav writes that the “absence of legal sanction has resulted in the misuse of power” by both agencies. (26) Ultimately, Yadav has tried to do too much with this book. He might have done better had he focused on his own first-hand experience in R&AW rather than retelling second or third-hand claims. Even so, the book contains insight into a rarely-written-about agency and discusses events that are of interest to scholars.
