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. 606 $aCold War 607 $aSouth Asia$xForeign relations$y20th century 607 $aSouth Asia$xForeign relations$zGreat Britain 607 $aSouth Asia$xForeign relations$zUnited States 607 $aGreat Britain$xForeign relations$zSouth Asia 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$zSouth Asia 607 $aIndia$xForeign relations$y20th century 607 $aPakistan$xForeign relations$y20th century 615 0$aCold War. 676 $a327.54009/045 700 $aMcGarr$b Paul M.$f1969-$01571954 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910787560803321 996 $aThe Cold War in South Asia$93846533 997 $aUNINA
