Radha Kumar
In this account of every major development in Kashmir’s history that led to the current, unsustainable situation, Radha Kumar, a specialist on peace and conflict in South Asia, attempts a definitive yet accessible study of the region. She chastises both the Indian and Pakistani governments for failures and missed opportunities, and concludes that the prospect of lasting peace and stability is only possible through concerted action by all the major stakeholders.
