Many current foreign service officers, State Department personnel, and other distinguished American diplomats have provided valuable insights for this book. I’d particularly like to thank Richard Holbrooke, Helena Finn, Rudi Lohmeyer, Farah Pandith, Bill Whelen, Steve Hill, Greg Behrman, Ashley Bommer, Jared Cohen, Nazneen Ash, Adnan Kifayat, Amar Bakshi, and Tad Brown.

On civil society matters, I received exceptional insights from Ricken Patel, Daisy Khan, Paul Reynault, Karen Tse, Premal Shah, Henrik Lund, Bill Abrams, Mark Suzman, Peter Bell, and Tony Pipa.
For their expertise on India-related trends I am grateful to Kiran Pasricha, Anwarul Hoda, Ashok Ummath, Jayanta Roy, T. Vishwanath, Ajay Khanna, Shashi Tharoor, and Ameet Mehta.
On the issue of conflict management, particularly related to Afghanistan, I am grateful for the insights of Stan McChrystal, Carne Ross, Paul van Zyl, Rick Ponzio, Barney Rubin, Ellen Laipson, Clare Lockhart, Seema Patel, Joshua Gardner, Chris Hanson, Mary Ann Callahan, John Schweiger, Michelle Parker, Chris Eaton, Brian Fawcett, Christine Fair, Anja de Beer, Hamish Nixon, Paula Kantor, Meloney Lindberg, Joanna Nathan, Tilly Reed, Rory Stewart, Masuda Sultan, Humayun Hamidzada, Saad Mohseni, Aaron Tallaferino, Ashok Parameswaran, Cathy Silverstein, Espen Eide, Robert Kaplan, Carter Page, Jonathan Paris, Greg Mortenson, Christiane Leitinger, Paula Newberg, Verena Ringler, Srilal Pereira, David Hoffman, Ramesh Thakur, Melissa Payson, Mosharraf Zaidi, and Matthew Arnold.

As before, I have been guided by a dream team made up of my editor, Will Murphy, at Random House and my agent, Jennifer Joel, at International Creative Management. I am forever grateful for having them in my corner for this second book and hopefully for many projects to come.
Without my family I could never run my own world. My father, Sushil, once again deserves special thanks for reading and editing the entire manuscript several times, as do my mother, Manjula, brother, Gaurav, and sister-in-law, Anu, for their constant love and support. Much of this book was written in the presence of my two constant companions, both at home and abroad: my lovely and brilliant wife, Ayesha, and our adorable baby daughter, Zara.
