A tour de force of U.S. relations with the globe's largest (and nuclear armed) democracy. Rotter uses provocative cultural as well as diplomatic analysis to show how India sees the United States, as well as the prisms through which Americans see Indians - and he does so with wide-ranging research and perspective that, despite the subtitle, takes us back to the 18th-century and into the 21st., An agreeable read, Rotter's book provides a great many probing observations on such varying matters as smell, space, family, and truth, along with assessments of their effect on the way policy was conceived and carried out.... What Rotter's fascinating work amounts to is really less a causal account than.... a myriad of vignettes, snapshots, details, and striking insights that forces one precisely not to conclude but to think., Comrades at Odd s illustrates both the virtues and the shortcomings of the new history. Rotter offers a subtle reading of heretofore-neglected source materials, and he adds to our understanding of the cultural side of this difficult relationship.... This book provides valuable insights., "More than a bilateral history of U.S.-Indian relations in the early decades of the Cold War, Comrades at Odds offers a new and exciting way of thinking about international relations as cultural relations. It is a must-read for scholars seeking to expand the horizon of the old diplomatic history."-Michael J. Hogan, Ohio State University, Andrew J. Rotter's important book engages a cultural approach to Indo-American relations and carefully weaves into it the record of diplomacy upon which foreign policy historians usually rely. Pleasurable and imaginative, Rotter's book is a major achievement that few U.S. historians have yet matched., "More than a bilateral history of U.S.-Indian relations in the early decades of the Cold War, Comrades at Odds offers a new and exciting way of thinking about international relations as cultural relations. It is a must-read for scholars seeking to expand the horizon of the old diplomatic history."--Michael J. Hogan, Ohio State University, "In this original, imaginative and informative study, Rotter argues that cultural perceptions, perhaps more than any other factor, have affected policy makers in both America and the subcontinent when formulating policy toward each other. The result is a fascinating book. . . Virtually every facet of culture is discussed and explained in masterly detail."-Choice, September 2001, "Andrew J. Rotter's important book engages a cultural approach to Indo-American relations and carefully weaves into it the record of diplomacy upon which foreign policy historians usually rely. Pleasurable and imaginative, Rotter's book is a major achievement that few U.S. historians have yet matched."-Michael S. Sherry, Northwestern University, "Rotter's study is as sophisticated and, at the same time, as commonsensical as the new approach gets. He dons theory but wears it lightly. . . He interrogates such usual suspects as race and gender but adds religion, family, and folkways of economy and governance. . . He has a good ear for anecdote and a good eye for the detail that illuminates the landscape."--H.W. Brands, Texas A&M University. Journal of American History, March 2002, "What makes Andrew J. Rotter's approach new and exciting is the way in which he links conventional debates in Cold War diplomatic history--those over strategic raw materials, wheat loans, foreign aid, neutralism, economic development, and so on--to a wide range of cultural and social beliefs. Engrossing, provocative, and persuasive, Comrades at Odds is a very important book on the cutting edge of foreign policy's cultural construction."--Christian G. Appy, Editor of Cold War Constructions: The Political Culture of United States Imperialism, 1945-1966, "Andrew Rotter has written an original and thoughtful book on United States-Indian relations during the cold war. . . This book should be read widely by diplomatic historians; it offers a model for future research and analysis and breakes important new ground in the study of international history."--International Journal, Autumn 2001, "Andrew J.
