I highly recommend this book!
My friend purchased the same one from another page for only Rs. 1,290! Such a huge price difference, even though the quality was exactly the same.
I just wanted to say that, aside from the content of the book, Sang-e-meel Publication has decorated the book with aesthetics.
The book received on time
the font size is small making slightly difficult reading ! otherwise an interesting reading
Absolutely loved reading this book, a brilliant read full of anecdotes and one that paints a vivid and comprehensive picture of a remarkable diplomatic career. Really is one of the finest memoirs I have ever read. The author has beautifully incorporated his own life's story with that of his diplomatic career and marvelously weaves in the story of Pakistan itself.
A must read for anyone interested in not just diplomacy or Pakistan (although those interested in these two would especially enjoy it), but also for anyone looking for inspiration on how to navigate a life and career based on integrity, dedication, and a committment to work for something bigger than yourself.
Do yourself a favor and read it!
Diplomatic Footprints - Aizaz Ahmad Chaudhry
Book arrived on time without any damage.
A must read for all, I would say
I have read many many memoirs in my lifetime but I have to admit that this one by Aizaz sb is one of the best. In a very dispassionate way he has shared the experiences in both his career and personal life.
This is the way how a memoir should be written.
Diplomatic Footprints - Aizaz Ahmad Chaudhry
The book has broken no new grounds. It has rehashed what we’ve known all along. Under the garb of secrecy the writer has not given out any interesting or captivating information that the reader could find interesting. There are no pen sketches of diplomats that he’s met in his career and he has not even alluded to putting his side of the story when the High Commissioner of Pakistan to India , Abdul Basit wrote a derogatory letter to the writer and it was widely published locally.
While the printing of the book is satisfactory there are glaring grammatical and spelling errors. Better proof reading would have made the book a better read.
Diplomatic Footprints is my favorite book of this decade, for the very simple reason that it makes for a beautiful story. This is the story of a committed, principled man and his illustrious career, weaved together so effortlessly and seamlessly with the story of Pakistan. For young professionals and academics like myself, this book provides an enriching and insightful look into the world of diplomacy. It offers clarity to some of the most difficult questions that Pakistan has had to answer in the foreign policy domain. The subtle use of anecdotes from Ambassador Chaudhry's life, so witty and so heart-warming, help carry the reader from page to page of the book. At first, Diplomatic Footprint appears to be a daunting book, considering its size and volume, but it merely takes a page or two to realize that such a sizeable book is befitting for a diplomat with a career as prestigious as Ambassador Chaudhry's. Thank you to Ambassador Chaudhry for his service to Pakistan, but a greater thank you for penning his memoir. This memoir is a testament to the legacy he leads.
