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.
