India and Pakistan Continued Conflict or Cooperation

In this book the author the world's most dangerous crisis, concisely distilling sixty-three years of complex history, tracing the roots of the relationship between these two antagonists, explaning the many attempts to resolve their disputes and assessing the dominant political leaders. While the tragic partition left many urgent problems, none has been more difficult than the struggle over Kashmir, claimed by both India and Pakistan. This intensely divisive issue has triggered two conventional wars and killed some one hundred thousand Kashmiris, and it has almost ignited two nuclear wars since 1998, when both India and Pakistan openly emerged as nuclear-weapon states. The author examines all the proposed solutions and concludes with a road map for a brighter future for South Asia.
