Reviews for India's Doctrine Puzzle: Limiting War in South Asia

'Ali Ahmed has analysed the drivers and consequences of the operational concepts which have evolved-and are still evolving-after the experience of the Kargil conflict. He makes a bold attempt to look into the operational future . . . Ahmed's fascinating study will form a useful input for military, strategic and political elites in coming to decisions in future.' - Lt. Gen. (Retd.) V. R. Raghavan, President, Centre for Security Analysis, Chennai and Advisor, Delhi Policy Group, New Delhi
