Description

Book Synopsis
Questioning why India and Pakistan have not fought another major war, this book gives a crisp answer: nuclear weapons.

Trade Review

"Reflecting the careful scholarship that has characterized the works of both authors, this is an engaging book, genuinely international and interdisciplinary in its scope. One hopes that it will be read by leaders in New Delhi, Islamabad, and Washington."
