Sommario/riassunto

"Explains the underlying causes of four contained conflicts on the subcontinent, their consequences, the lessons learned, and the American role in each. Considers these as cases of attempted conflict resolution, as instances of limited war by nuclear-armed nations, and as examples of intervention and engagement by the U.S. and China"--Provided by publisher.
