Drawing upon significant new evidence from British, American, Indian and Eastern bloc archives, the book re-examines how and why the Cold War in South Asia evolved in the way that it did, at a time when the national leaderships, geopolitical outlooks and regional aspirations of India, Pakistan and their superpower suitors were in a state of considerable flux. The book probes the factors which encouraged the governments of Britain and the United States to work so closely together in South Asia during the two decades after independence, and suggests what benefits, if any, Anglo-American intervention in South Asia's affairs delivered, and to whom.Cold WarSouth AsiaForeign relations20th centurySouth AsiaForeign relationsGreat BritainSouth AsiaForeign relationsUnited StatesGreat BritainForeign relationsSouth AsiaUnited StatesForeign relationsSouth AsiaIndiaForeign relations20th centuryPakistanForeign relations20th centuryCold War.327.54009/045McGarr Paul M.1969-1639669UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910808631703321The Cold War in South Asia3982763UNINA
