Since the 1950s, China and India have been locked in a monumental
battle for geopolitical supremacy. Chinese interest in the ethnic
insurgencies in northeastern India, the still unresolved issue of
the McMahon Line, the border established by the British imperial
government, and competition for strategic access to the Indian
Ocean have given rise to tense gamesmanship, political intrigue,
and rivalry between the two Asian giants. Former Far Eastern
Economic Review correspondent Bertil Lintner has drawn from his
extensive personal interviews with insurgency leaders and civilians
in remote tribal areas in northeastern India, newly declassified
intelligence reports, and his many years of firsthand experience in
Asia to chronicle this ongoing struggle. His history of the "Great
Game East" is the first significant account of a regional conflict
which has led to open warfare on several occasions, most notably
the Sino-India border war of 1962, and will have a major impact on
global affairs in the decades ahead.
