The South Asia Story
The First Sixty Years of US Relations with India and Pakistan
- Harold A Gould - Centre for South Asian Studies, University of Virgina, Charlottesville
With the unfolding of the South Asia policies of the new U.S. President, Barrack Obama, this book will provide the much needed background study to the readers.
Delightful and engaging, this slim and pithy first-hand account of the way the US’ South Asia policy has been taking shape over the decades under successive American Presidents, could be described as a small but revealing window to the "goings on" in Washington with regard to India and Pakistan. While enabling the reader to place the US’ relations with India and Pakistan in a historical perspective, the work opens a door of investigation to a host of issues currently punctuating the interstate relations of this region.
