A sweeping and theoretically original analysis of the India-Pakistan rivalry from 1947 to the present.Since their mutual independence in 1947, India and Pakistan have been engaged in a fierce rivalry. Even today, both rivals continue to devote enormous resources to their military competition even as they face other pressing challenges at home and abroad.
