Opis

Filling a clear gap in the literature, this book focuses on India's experiences waging counterinsurgency campaigns since its independence in 1947. It addresses the pressing military and civilian needs in the counterinsurgency arena by focusing on the lessons that can be learned by other states from India's extensive endeavours.

Recenzje

'This useful and thought-provoking book fills an important gap. India’s experience is little known and even less understood – not just in Europe and North America but, as a couple of the essays collected here make clear, even in India.'
Teresita C. Schaffer, Survival
