Routledge - Cold War in the High Himalayas History Book

Explore a detailed historical analysis of geopolitical tensions in South Asia during the 1950s. This Routledge publication examines how elite-insecurity perceptions in India, Pakistan, and the USA shaped regional stability. The text provides a deep look into the alliance-building efforts and the secret triangular covert collaboration designed to counter Communist China along the Himalayan frontiers of Tibet. Readers will learn how these secret alliances created unexpected consequences for the Kashmir dispute between India and Pakistan. The book also tracks the shift in regional dynamics by examining why Indo-Pakistani security policies began to diverge due to fundamental cleavages starting in the 1960s. This is an essential resource for students and historians interested in World History and the complex power struggles of the Cold War era in the High Himalayas.
