War at the top of the world : the struggle for Afghanistan, Kashmir, and Tibet / Eric S. Margolis.

Margolis, Eric S. (Author).

Summary:

"Focusing on the four nuclear powers, India, Pakistan, China, and Russia that converge in South Asia along oft-disputed borders created by the Himalayas, War at the Top of the World shows how long-held grudges over Afghanistan, Kashmir, Tibet, and other small territories could erupt into a full-scale nuclear confrontation." -- Jacket.
