Routledge - India-Pakistan in War and Peace History Book

Understand the complex history of two South Asian rivals with this detailed account from Routledge. As the Kashmir dispute brings India and Pakistan closer to potential nuclear conflict, this book provides essential context regarding their long-standing rivalry. Much like the Israel-Palestine struggle, the tension between these two nations is a deep legacy of history. This text examines how the two countries went to war within months of their independence. It tracks their history over the following half-century, covering three additional wars and their frequent clashes at the United Nations and other global forums. Readers will gain a clear perspective on a conflict defined by religion, territory, and two different views of nationhood. This book is an important resource for anyone studying world history or the political landscape of South Asia.
