Abstract
The book entitled ‘South Asia Papers: A Critical Anthology of Writings,’ by Stephen Phillip Cohen is a collection of sixteen essays by a leading analyst and scholar on South Asia’s civil military relations, security and political issues. The book’s chapters are drawn from more than 150 published pieces by the author and every essay presents a detailed and well researched insight into various periods of South Asian military history and military sociology.
While making preparations for South Asian Papers’ publication the author revisited his previous writings on the subject and has indicated where his analysis was proved inaccurate by subsequent policy developments and events.
