Limited War: Revisiting Kargil in the Indo-Pak Conflict

Arms control, disarmament, and international security are the key issues in this report on the history of "limited war,"—a concept introduced by British military historian and strategist Sir Basil Henry Liddell Hart at the peak of World War II—that has gathered momentum in the post-Kargil conflict period of India and Pakistan. The report explores how Liddell Hart's advocacy of limiting war differed from the arguments of the United States at the time and how they apply to the Indo-Pak conflict today.
