India and Pakistan ─ Continued Conflict or Cooperation?

"Stanley Wolpert is one of our country's most prominent, prolific and insightful scholars writing about India and Pakistan's complex relationship, which has been too often defined by conflict and tragedy. His new work, India and Pakistan, is not only an illuminating survey of the countries' intertwined history but also a thoughtful, in-depth review of the issues that have divided India and Pakistan since their inception. This is an important book, written with the benefit of deep knowledge of the region and informed by incisive and erudite analysis."--Vartan Gregorian, President, Carnegie Corporation of New York

"Professor Stanley Wolpert's latest is a wonderfully lucid and succinct survey of the tangled web of India-Pakistan relations over the decades. Its high point is the last chapter on the potential solutions to the Kashmir conflict--a must read for the people and leaders of the two nations. It should be immediately translated."--Dilip K. Basu, University of California, Santa Cruz

Stanley Wolpert is the author of fourteen books, including India, now in its fourth edition from UC Press, A New History of India, now in its eighth edition, and Gandhi's Passion: The Life and Legacy of Mahatma Gandhi.
