`Remarkable both for its scholarly rigour and precision of research, Major Chadha`s book is innovative both in its analysis and in terms of description, nuances and prognosis - Air Vice-Marshal (Retd) Kapil Kak
This book is the first history of Low Intensity Conflict (LIC) in India since independence. It analyzes the roots of conflict in a range of contexts. In the author s view, India s struggle for independence itself rates as the 20th century s most significant LIC. Subsequent conflicts have made India possibly the world s most complex and varied theatre of LICs.
