Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brookings scholar Stephen Philip Cohen, often described as the 'dean' of US South Asian studies, is a dominant figure in the fields of military history, military sociology, and South Asia's strategic emergence.Cohen introduces this work with a critical look at his past writing -where he was right, where he was wrong. This exceptional collection includes materials that have never appeared in book form, including Cohen's original essays on the region's military history, the transition from British rule to independence, the role of the armed forces in India and Pakistan, the pathologies of India-Pakistan relations, South Asia's growing nuclear arsenal, and America's fitful (and forgetful) regional policy.
