The Cold War in South Asia provides the first comprehensive and
transnational history of Anglo-American relations with South Asia
during a seminal period in the history of the Indian Subcontinent,
between independence in the late 1940s, and the height of the Cold
War in the late 1960s. Drawing upon significant new evidence from
British, American, Indian and Eastern bloc archives, the book
re-examines how and why the Cold War in South Asia evolved in the
way that it did, at a time when the national leaderships,
geopolitical outlooks and regional aspirations of India, Pakistan
and their superpower suitors were in a state of considerable flux.
The book probes the factors which encouraged the governments of
Britain and the United States to work so closely together in South
Asia during the two decades after independence, and suggests what
benefits, if any, Anglo-American intervention in South Asia's
affairs delivered, and to whom.
