Sobre IBD

An important and critical re-evaluation of South Asia’s post-tests nuclear politics. Unlike other books, this volume emphasises the political dimension of South Asia’s nuclear weapons, explains how the bombs are used as politico-strategic assets rather than pure battlefield weapons and how they are employed by India and Pakistan in an extremely complex and competitive South Asian strategic landscape.
