Review

"Unlike most discussions of conflict between the nuclear-armed nations of South Asia, this combines contributions from experts in both of those countries, as well as American perspectives. It is especially comprehensive and balanced and blends theory and policy analysis in the best way." Richard K. Betts, Director, Saltzman Institute of War and Peace Studies, Columbia University

"The 1999 Kargil War was a rare and dangerous moment in history when two nuclear powers and two democracies went to war despite the risks of nuclear escalation. This excellent book explains, in more detail and depth that ever before, the crucial decisions made in Islamabad, New Delhi, and in the mountain peaks of Kashmir that led to the Kargil conflict and led to its eventual resolution." Scott D. Sagan, Professor of Political Science and Co-Director of the Center for International Security and Cooperation (CISAC), Stanford University

"The ugly stability in South Asia, unfortunately, will continue to be periodically disrupted by different kinds of limited wars. Peter Lavoy's Asymmetric Warfare in South Asia deserves wide reading because it is a meticulous examination of the first, but perhaps not the last, limited war to occur in the Indian subcontinent under the shadow of nuclear weaponry. Both academics and policymakers alike will be informed-and sobered-by this excellent work." Ashley J. Tellis, Senior Associate, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace

Book Description

The 1999 Kargil conflict between India and Pakistan was a landmark event not because of its duration or casualties, but because it contained a real risk of nuclear escalation. This unique analysis includes unprecedented access to Indian, Pakistani, and U.S. government officials and military officers actively involved in the conflict.
