In 1960, King Mahendra Shah summoned a twenty-four-year-old Nepali PhD student in California to serve as the Member Secretary of National Planning Council. In the extraordinary six-decade long career that followed, Bhekh Bahadur Thapa witnessed first-hand the enormous challenges, as well as the heartbreaks and triumphs, of nation-building in Nepal. He revisits those times, offering deeply personal observations into the transformation of his country, from a feudal protectorate under the rule of the Rana dynasty to its current-day manifestation as a boisterous federal democratic republic. An ‘insider-account’ in the truest sense, A Life in Public Service is a fascinating, intimate look at the modern-day governance of South Asia’s oldest nation.

About Author
Bhekh Bahadur Thapa became the Member Secretary of Nepal's National Planning Council at the age of 24 and then went on to become the Secretary of Finance and the Governor of Nepal Rastra Bank during King Mahendra's reign. Dr. Thapa also served as the Finance Minister during King Birendra's reign. Tasked with these responsibilities before age 40, he then turned towards diplomacy, serving as Nepal's ambassador to the US, as the UN Resident Coordinator in war-torn Sri Lanka, and as Nepal's ambassador to India, always seeking to establish Nepal's proud place in the larger world. He served as the Foreign Minister during the last years of the monarchy in Nepal, and most recently served as the Nepal coordinator of India-Nepal Eminent Persons Group to smooth out relations between these two neighbours.
