The 1999 conflict between India and Pakistan near the town of
Kargil in contested Kashmir was the first military clash between
two nuclear-armed powers since the 1969 Sino-Soviet war. Kargil was
a landmark event not because of its duration or casualties, but
because it contained a very real risk of nuclear escalation. Until
the Kargil conflict, academic and policy debates over nuclear
deterrence and proliferation occurred largely on the theoretical
level. This deep analysis of the conflict offers scholars and
policymakers a rare account of how nuclear-armed states interact
during military crisis. Written by analysts from India, Pakistan,
and the United States, this unique book draws extensively on
primary sources, including unprecedented access to Indian,
Pakistani, and U.S. government officials and military officers who
were actively involved in the conflict. This is the first rigorous
and objective account of the causes, conduct, and consequences of
the Kargil conflict.
