### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    An excellent overview
  

*by J***M on Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2015*

If you're looking for a pithy and to-the-point summation of one of the modern world's longest-lasting rivalries, look no further. One of Professor Cohen's little tongue-in-cheek observations is that several American Presidents have taken it upon themselves to try and solve the India-Pakistan conflict, perhaps with visions of a Nobel Peace Prize dancing before their eyes. In the end, they go on to try and deal with something simple, like the Arab-Israeli struggle. This is one of those international problems that simply refuses to go away, and the causes are many: culture, territorial conflict, a long memory of real and perceived insults and defeats, religion, etc. Add a healthy dose of nuclear weapons, mutual proxy warfare and plenty of nationalist rhetoric and you have a situation that keeps people up at night, not least in the two countries involved. Cohen points out that the difference between the antagonists would seem to play heavily into India's hand, and Pakistan's weaknesses other than military place it almost in the "failed state" category; a struggle that Pakistan can't win and India can't lose. And while some Indians might be willing to simply wait until Pakistan's "inevitable" collapse takes place, Cohen is probably right to point out that Pakistan is "too nuclear to fail." Are there chances for the situation ameliorating? No, probably not, but work can be done to keep it from getting much worse.

### ⭐⭐ 







  
  
    One sided
  

*by K***D on Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2014*

The book appears to take a lopsided view of the conflict between these two South Asian neighbours. Cohen seems to be influenced more by prevailing politics than by examining and analysing facts. Every thing Pakistan has done seems wrong to the writer, even the UN resolution on Kashmir has been belittled; Pakistan attempts and initiatives though acknowledged have been summarily dismissed. Everything Indian has been potrayed as logical and rational. The so called a South Asian expert has fallen into the trap where intellectual honesty seems to have been overshadowed by the policy to support India in everything. The author has flown with the partisan tide - perhaps a necessity for a think tank worker!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    An Outstanding Book
  

*by T***L on Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2013*

This is an outstanding book; one of the rare intellectual projects that attempts to understand the reasons for the persistence of the India-Pakistan rivalry for nearly 65 years. It is a major advancement in our understanding of the complex factors involved in the India-Pakistan conflict dynamics. It also offers multiple pathways through which this conflict could be resolved or prolonged. Although the book is not a theory-driven work, it does use some relevant theories, especially towards the end. Its strength lies in bringing out the deep empirical factors, especially from the decades of understanding Prof. Cohen has developed as a result of his interactions with the protagonists from the region as well as US policymakers. It deftly uses published materials from the region to show the differing perspectives of the actors in both countries. South Asia regional specialists, policymakers, and all others interested in enduring rivalries, especially among international relations scholars must take this book seriously.T.V.
