Summary
  1. "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.
