India - USA Diplomatic Relations 1940-2002

This book is a very important and a well-researched book exploring the USA policy toward India since 1940s when India was seriously involved in gaining independence from the British rule. The Cold War between the Soviet Union and the USA after the end of the Second World War and the Indian Independence in 1947 opened a new chapter in the USA-India relation as the USA was seeking military alliance with the Asian countries to stop the expansion of Communism in that part of the world. However, the September 2001 destruction of the World Trade Center by Al-Qaida terrorists has brought about a big change in the USA policy toward India's challenging task of dealing with the terrorist in India's Kashmir who, India alleges, are being trained in Pakistan and Afghanistan. The book also goes into the military common endeavours between the two countries since September 2001.
