Reviews

"[A] fine, meticulously researched and well-written book... This is a scholarly work through and through but the crisis of 2001-2002, the subcontinent’s equivalent of the Cuban missile crisis in terms of brinks and abysses beyond, is written up so vividly it has a touch of a chiller-thriller about it."- Peter Hennessy, "ueen Mary, University of London, UK; International Affairs 87:2, 2011
