The contributions trace India's journey from the pre-modern era to the last military conflict between India and Pakistan in 1999. The focus of the chapters included in this edited volume extends beyond India to encompass Pakistan and China, its adversaries in war. The chapters offer a novel perspective on India's emergence as a regional military power and its approach to war and peace in the post-independence period. Importantly, they contribute to the broader study of Indian strategic history during the Cold War and beyond, an understudied intellectual landscape. The book draws upon archival research and a closer conceptual analysis of decision-making by Indian, British, and American officials during times of war and peace in contemporary India.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book holds immense appeal for scholars, researchers, and students engaged in strategic studies, diplomatic and military history, international diplomacy, as well as Indian history and politics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Strategic Studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 453g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 156 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781032140278\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44646786728186,"sku":"9781032140278","price":42.83,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1697219735281_book.jpg?v=1697574619","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/war-and-peace-in-contemporary-india-9781032140278","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
