As the only surviving statesman of the Paris Peace Conference of
1919, Jan Smuts arrived for the first session of the United Nations
in New York in 1946 to celebratory chants. His departure, a month
and a half later, was terrifyingly dissimilar. The `counsellor of
nations’ left a dejected man, with his honour, power and glory
severely dented. The tragedy that befell Smuts’ international
swansong was an Indian delegation, which, as Smuts bemoaned, used
his own words against himself and showed him to be a hypocrite.
This was eerily similar to a diplomatic onslaught Smuts had faced
between 1917 and 1923 at the hands of another set of little-known
Indian diplomats. Through these episodic histories, this book
chronicles the ambivalent cosmopolitanism of Jan Smuts.
