Routledge Limited War in South Asia - Military History Book

Explore the complex history of conventional warfare in the Indian subcontinent with this comprehensive volume from Routledge. Limited War in South Asia: From Decolonization to Recent Times provides a detailed look at the origins, courses, and consequences of conflict in post-colonial South Asia. While the region has seen significant large-scale warfare since the end of World War II, much of the existing analysis has neglected these specific military developments. This book fills that gap by focusing on the strategic interactions between China, India, and Pakistan. It offers a unique perspective by linking regional rivalries to global power shifts, including the competition between the US and USSR (later Russia) and the rise of China. Readers will gain a better understanding of how local conflicts are shaped by international dynamics and broader strategic goals. This is an essential resource for students and professionals interested in military strategy and operational art within the South Asian context.
