This book presents a comprehensive analysis of the 1999 Kargil conflict—a critical episode in South Asian history where two nuclear-armed states, India and Pakistan, faced off in a localized yet high-stakes military clash. The volume explores the causes, operational details, and consequences of the conflict, drawing on firsthand interviews and access to Indian, Pakistani, and U.S. sources. It offers a rare empirical look into nuclear deterrence, strategic miscalculations, and the dynamics of asymmetric warfare in a nuclearized region.
