- Summary
- "This book examines elite-insecurity perceptions in India, Pakistan and the USA in the 1950s. It traces linkages in alliance-building efforts, and subsequent triangular covert collaboration against communist China, especially along Tibet's Himalayan frontiers. Finally, we learn about the unexpected fall-out of this on the Kashmir dispute between India and Pakistan, and the divergence of Indo-Pakistani security policies along fundamental cleavages since the 1960s."--Jacket.
